Correspondence from Betty May to David Garnett*
50 Old Compton St. Soho
[undated: circa 1922?]
Dear David
I want to thank you for the money you gave me last week. I managed to get my baggage & pay my rent & paid up till today. It's very very difficult for me to get any money because I haven't any clothes to go out in so again I am wondering if you will help me once more. You know David I am really very sorry to trouble you. But it is really impossible for me to get money for the moment. I don't want to be kicked out of the place, for I cannot sleep out again.
Love
Betty May.
I simply couldn't afford to phone you.
