22nd March 1961
Darling Alan,
Thanks for the letter and that gorgeous little poem you wrote out. I think it is smashing, I’ll have to frame it.
I think that is a smashing idea to send my parents a birthday card. It’s a good job you mentioned it when you did because my dad’s birthday is next Thursday 30th. Mum isn’t til December. I mentioned it to mum and she was quite touched.
