From:- Mary. (David's Mother) November 1968.
Yr. letter of 15 Nov. rec'd w. thanks. Painters are in so things are nearing completion, just doorhandles, light fittings & taps to go on & we'll be able to enjoy the new layout. Most surprising how much larger the K looks. Sent some newspaper cuttings which I hope will eventually turn up. Much love MSG.
