Dear Michael - 24th October 1968

"Nut House" Just received your most welcome comic strip. Thanks. Sorry about the £80. 8. 0 bill but fraid I can't send you the £80 pounds, however enclosed a few 5d stamps that should make you feel a lot better. Glad you got back safe and sound ( if only in body ). Am going to a bumper jumble sale this Sat. so who knows what may be coming in the mail for you. Everyone all right this end. "Noddy" is giving us a lift down to Tonbridge on Sunday, that's a turn up for the book. Uncle and Nod togther should make a good comedy act. Have not got our shed at the bottom of our garden yet. ( Hope I don't see anything nasty in the wood shed) it is supposed to be here by now. Also my stair carpet! However guess thay will arrive by Xmas. Who is the nice looking wench on the photo you pasted on your letter? You don't tell me nuffink! Well keep warm. Don't burn too much midnight oil, or candle at both ends, or something like that! Write again soon. Love to you from us all here including Bugs and Seep! Mother x
