"Dear
Betty" -- Letters from Helen Dawe and Betty Youngson, 1979, Page
2
The
fate of Rockwood Lodge hangs in the balance. At Helen's urging, Betty
recalls details of a murder near Egmont in the 1930s. Helen sends Betty
sea urchins and makes a successful pilgrimage to Snake Bay, where she
and Betty picked apples in their youth. Clayton's expanded store is
reported to be 'enormous, vast, huge.'

Dear
Helen and dear Bill,
I
vowed that I would not see the end of this month without at least
making a start in the letter I've been wanting to write you for
days.

Dear
Betty,
How

Dear Helen and Bill,
This
is by no means intended as an answer to you lovely and most interesting
letter duly received yesterday.

Dear
Helen (and Billie of course xx),
I
was so pleased to hear from you last month, and talk to you during
Billie's phone call to me -- it was just the icing on the cake
and something I never expected.
