5th June, 1974

My dear Derek,

Many thanks for yrs.

Thanks for the felicitations. The sheer
unexpectedness of the legacy makes it all
the more delightful. Life is so strange: we
often get what we don't deserve and vice
versa.

That photo of Herta,I assure you,doesn’t
'do her justice' as they say. She looks a
little apprehensive. The car crash (she
was with'her husband) mu have been a xxxx
pretty awful experience: waking up injured
in hospital and being told her husband was
dead. Anyway,the photo shows she isn’t the
English conception of a busty hausfrau. You
will like her.

Thank Peggie for confirming my feeling
that one doesn't pay on legacies - the law
keeps being amended and I thought the
buggers might have changed it for the worse.

Glad you saw Jack recently and that he's
happy to be xxxxx back, strikes etc. notwith-
standing. But how disappointing that he
