Sheila called with Patricia to take E & I to Norwich. I went to Burtons for a new suit price £36.50. I paid $10 deposit, cannot deliver under 6 weeks. I also bought a cap from Dunn & Co, price £1.60 (what a price). Ethel went after dinner to Norwich called at TSB for a cheque for £187.00 which we are lending Sheila as she is buying a house in College Road.
Notes
Sheila refers to my mother, Sheila Drew nee Parkin and Patricia to my sister, Patricia Carrick nee Drew. E refers to my grandmother Ethel May Cecilia Parkin.
