Transcript

From E.M. April 5th, 1975.

Thanks for yours of the 3rd, and for clearing up the Housman family mystery; I had no idea there was another daughter, {1} as RR {2} never mentioned her, but only Clemence, who lived with LH {3} at Street.

I don’t know whether Gilbert Turner is back from France yet, but am writing him this weekend to send the letters to you, and I am sure he will. You will then have to cope with his awful address to thank him!

Yours sincerely,
Ethel Mannin

[Direction:] J. Hunt, Esq., | Ebury House | Romsley | Halesowen | Worcestershire
