Autograph Letter Signed to 'My dear Dorothy and Marion',
saying he will be very glad to use your joint contribution, which makes me wish I had a Moke too, especially if I could go touring in France... Your description of one feast is sending me off to Soho to-night where the French cuisine is to be had for 1/6... Please remember that I take the article not for the love I bear your father - but on its merits as a sizeable contribution which will bring sixpences into our exchequer... Avoid poetry especially if it is about hearts & tombstones - the quantity of broken hearts I have to read about makes we wish that men had no such organs - Your father used to like this sort of thing... I once saw a lady's heart in a glass bottle at the College of Surgeons, he adds gruesomely they are only fit for frying - by a French chef... We go to Steyning on Saturday & if your famous Motor can find its way there I hope it will turn up at our door... 'BURDOCK' the grocer...
