Jacks clothes. (a) He tells me they were arranged in a certain order to be called for by Arthur. What A. does not take had better be kept. Perhaps if there is time youd send him a list.
(b) Please store furniture in my name.
(c) Dont store kitchen lino or those trays.
(d) Give V. the bango of course with my love. I wld like - and I think it would be right to give her all we are selling. (In fact what about seeing what price it will fetch, wiring me the price & then giving it to V & Ill pay Jack.) N0. Dont do that. We cant. Ill make it up to V. one day as soon as I can. But of course let her have what she wants for a song.
(e) Shepherdess had better be thrown in the dustbin.
(fj Yes, I want Mother’s photograph my much. The last one of her. Send it - will you? I am always wanting it.
(g) What the large file of papers & the typed sheets is and are I don’t know. They’d better be stored. The brown photographs are jacks — to go with his papers.
