Correspondence from Betty May to David Garnett*
248 High St Rochester Kent
16 1961
Dear David
Thank you so much for the cheque. I did not ask you for anything though.
Your letter has made me tremendously happy & I am beginning to see things from a different angle.
I must admit that my tempers are pretty appalling & I have so little control.
I will try very hard to adjust myself to things generally.
I suppose I am rather jealous too.
I do want to thank you again for your lovely letter, which I shall look at again when things are not so bright.
My love,
Betty May.
* David Garnett (1892–1981) was an author and wrote eleven novels as well as his autobiography; he edited the letters of T.E. Lawrence and the novels of Thomas Love Peacock. He and Francis Birrell started a bookshop; he helped found the Nonesuch Press and the publishing firm of Rupert Hart-Davis.
