Correspondence from Betty May to David Garnett*
5 Skree Court Bligh Way, Strood Kent.
30th 1976 [30 November 1976]
Dear David
May I wish you a Merry Xmas & all you wish for the New Year.
How are you keeping in health.
I haven't been feeling at all well.
I get these rather giddy feelings & I don't go out except to pay my rent every Monday morning.
My friend Iris does my weekend shopping for me. Pat has come to [illegible] me, you remember the girl Billy [Betty's deceased husband] fell in love with. She comes up every Sunday to see how I am.
She is rather attractive and dresses well.
And now David I don't know what to write about. Nothing exciting happens to me.
So I will close with all 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.
