He deals\nin Old Masters. Apparently he spotted a genuine\nOld Master going cheaply in France, had it\nrestored and sold at a vast profit. His father\nwas in the business ,too,but he obviously has\na flair. Intends to educate his children in\nSwitzerland as he fears Lab will abolish the\nPublic Schools. You might think Mrs. W is\nroxiing in money. Not so. She does own this\nvaluable house but has a smallish income and\nwon't take a penny from her very rich son who\nis always urging her to help herself to some\nof the lolly. My mother was like that,too,\nand would only take very small presents,and\nin later years even saved out of her small\nold age pension and sent me money! Incredible\nbut true.\n\nFunny I shd be getting so much news from\ndistant members of the family - Nan Greacen\nhas sent me a folder announcing a new Exhib-\nition in St.Augustine,Florida. This contains a\nphoto of her and I can see a 'family likeness'\nStill     in the case of her father and myself.\n\nVery many thanks for your note on this new\npublisher. It seems an excellent tip,as you\nsay. Have to wait for Gollancz\u2019 reaction. Tip\nmuch appreciated.\n\nSaw Valerie this afternoon for about 30\nmins. She\u2019s said adieu to her gent in educat-\nion. Did a review for her the other day of a\nPenguin I bought myself,as Penguin won\u2019t send\nher review copies. Her Drabble book is schedul-\ned for July.\n\nWhat about lunch either with/without\nCis and Gareth ?\n\nLove to you both- Robert\n","Type":"Text"}}]
