Correspondence from Betty May to David Garnett*
13 Morden Court Troy Toron Rockeller Kent.
June 29th 1971
Dear David,
I have had a very nasty accident. I jumped off the last step of the bus & broke my leg & am having a hell of a time all plastered up & have to use a frame. I was in hospital for 3 days now I am staying with friends because I can't manage my stairs. Never have I known such pain especially at night. I am in a few weeks time 78, so there isn't much difference in our ages. So if you should write will you write to the above address.
Much love David dear,
Betty May.
This [illegible] [photo of Betty May] was taken last year, see how old I look.
Bet.
