Dear Aubrey
I’ve just heard from Ernest, & he enclosed £7-0-0, said he had sent you the other £7-0-0 the amount of the wardrobe. Also that he had sold £4-15-0 of other things & spent & was squaring us out of the wardrobe, all totalled up makes £18-15-0, & as his share would be a 3rd, he should have £6-5-0 so it looks as if we have to refund 15/- each to him, is this correct? Personally I did not expect a share. Then again I don’t know if there are other things he has sold, not accounted for. Anyway I’ve written & asked him, as I want to send the right amount back, while in Perth. We expect to leave early in September, after the Show I think.
Ernest can’t find the note re British Museum records, has looked 8 times, says it is the worst writing he has seen, but also admits he is not good at reading hand writing. If he ever finds it I fear it will be too late for me to interview Mr Scott about it. Providing Ernest does find it, could you write & explain the matter to Mr S? He was very grateful to you for the information re old canons & I don’t know how to, or who else to ask to make a search & whether it will cost anything.
Winifred came to say goodbye during the weekend (with Frank Sweeting) she has been with the Ted Hesters for 2 months & is now going to Theo & Paddy Roe at Shackleton, until after Xmas. I don’t think she will ever [?try] & work at home. Jock Hassell has lost Caracarup, mortgagee’s sale, Winifred much upset, as her portion of land seems to be covered by the mortgage & she was receiving £100 rent for the land, now it looks as if she won’t get a cent.
Norma Rolland was here last week, Mr R had another heart attack, they leave him very weak. Norma has to keep a very watchful eye upon him. Arthur Gillam is expected back today, as Norma said. I thought he had gone Home for good. I expect Joan & family are back from their holidays, hope to see her before I go hence.
Ger had a setback, by catching a cold, it always affects his face. Campbell Wilson is back & is going to take another X ray tomorrow for his own benefit, to see if there is really any more puss in the sockets. A small piece of bone has worked out & that seemed to give […].
We went to Cottesloe on Sunday & had tea & evening music at the Mitchinsons, Loulou came over too.
Ger has been afraid to go near Cousin Cecil, with his cold, so have only heard that he is about the same.
Georgie strolled in last week, to my great surprise. I asked her to come again to tea & we went off to a delightful Organ & piano recital at St George’s, Mr Hardwick & his young daughter. Georgie was thrilled (they go & play for Cousin Cecil, to his joy). Georgie thinks an Italian burnt their house, for vendetta, said Georgie’s horses broke his fence. They are getting settled in the new one. She is very short, Amy paid her fare up just for a week’s stay.
Mrs Olivey has been working very hard & has made a wonderfully pretty home of this, but can’t get the house for more than 6 months lease, as Ross McDonald wants to sell. Mr Olivey said “remember me to Aubrey” & he is coming back for the Show.
Much love to you all
Your affectionate sister
Joy M Clifton
