C.\n\n22 May 1975\n\nMy dear Derek,\n\nI must tell you that Gerald Clarke\nand I have sent an ultimatum to Mrs. Cash.\nWe want the cash or we shall be forced etc.\nGerald has been suspicious for some time,\nespecially since his letters have not been\nanswered nor was he invited to the party.\n\nI feel responsible for his having entered\nthe competition in the first place. Mrs.\nCash's last letter to me was somewhat\ndisingenuous. \"Some of the \u00a325 prize xxxx\nwinners have received their cheques...\"\nThen,in the next sentence,I am told that I\nmay have to wait \"a few weeks or even\nmonths\". But on what basis have some been\npaid ? Because they made a fuss ? Because\nthey have blue eyes ? Surely it would have\nbeen a better idea to have sent everyone\na payment on A/C ,if only to show goodwill.\nOr,more honest still,to have x returned\nMss and fees if she xx knew that she\nhadN't enough money in hand to pay prize-\nwinners. I am sure you will agree that this\nkind of behaviour isn't good enough, I\nexpect that insistence on payment for work\n\nx cancelled the competition\n","Type":"Text"}}]
