Correspondence from Betty May to David Garnett*
50 Walton Crescent Oxford
[undated: circa 3 September 1922]
David Dear.
I have some news to give you I've just got married [to Raoul Loveday] & I'm awfully happy. We are awfully poor for the moment & I'm wondering if you would lend me £5. I could pay it back sometime next week so do please help me. It's rotten of me I always seem to be asking you for money.
We are coming back to town on Sunday & I do want you to meet my trueloved [?].
Love
Betty May Loveday
