Dear David

 

Thank you so much. You are very kind to me & I do so appreciate.

 

Are you fed up with England & should anyone would be what with these strikes & appalling weather.  There is one thing we did have a good time when we were young.

 

I don't suppose those days will ever come back.

 

I love you David

 

Betty May

 

All the best for Xmas etc.
