A very generous present then old crone?, I found out yesterday her employer was Arthur Reed Ropes who was a famous lyracist and went under the name of Adrian Ross so he could well afford it. Jenny |

Another way to look at it is, it would have been about six months wages for a domestic servant. OV |
