Essex

Southend… on-Sea

Tunbridge Road

5th April, 1951

For nearly two years I have been working as a cataloguer at Marks & Co. and would like to thank you very much for my share-out in the parcels which you've been sending.

If at any time you know of anything that you would like sent over from London, I will be most happy to see to it for you.

I live with my great-aunt who is 75, and I think that i? you had seen the look of delight on her face when I brought home the meat and the tin of tongue, you would have realized just how grateful we are. It's certainly good to know that someone so many miles away can be so kind and generous to people they haven't even seen, and I think that everyone in the firm feels the same.

Sincerely,

Dear Miss Hanff,

Bill Humphries
