Dear Robin
I'm very sorry about the Income Tax decision. As time passes I had felt that it might drop. Will you have a look and tell me what there is in the trustee account? Then we will have to look for other money.
My Q/Captain is delighted: he is a really decent fellow, with only one leg and a wife.Son ... daughter married. Hard luck to be broke at 60,I think.
The U.S.A. Odyssey has sold 11000 copies, and that will mean some hundreds of pounds (shillings) for me. So my overdraft will munch itself in the next six months. I don't know when their settling day is. Meanwhile I am repairing, -ing ... altering my cottage, against the ..."firing", which may be very soon. This station is not pleasant, now.
On the principle that every little helps, I enclose a B.B.C. Cheque, made out "Shaw".
Yours * : '.
T E S.
