1st April 1961
Darling Alan,
Who fancied Oxford for the Boat Race then? it was a jolly good race though. I even had visions of myself paying a visit to the Post Office for a postal order but I didn’t have to, thank goodness. Y’know, I got paid Thursday and I’m skint again. I don’t like pay days. It come home to me how poor I really am, even though I’ve got a fistful of that green stuff.
