Sat.
My dear Lindy and David,
Got home O.K., didn't see my friends-away on holiday—so came straight here. Lindy—I'll never be able to thank you for what you did and are still doing for us. Don't think I would have made it to Kai Tak without you--sure of it.
Have enclosed a letter for Peter, give it to him if you can. So worried about him. Do hope he's had some good advice by now. If he can't write to me, would you please keep in touch and let me know all of it--don't keep anything back no matter what Peter says. I'm going into Rye now-to get a cable off to you. If you can, would you send all our clothing here, Ian's Peter's and mine (leave enough for P to be getting on with).
Weather good, but cold morning and evening. You will probably have to buy another big trunk, but Peter has enough for that- he will give you any cash you need and if not write and let me know.
Forgot to mention Frank YUEN at the Ocean Terminal (opposite side from Marks and Spencers, has some furniture of ours which he is crating and will have to be sent with the other effects from the house. If you can get in touch with him and get the stuff away with the rest-so much the better. We still owe him some money. If Peter can't pay-send the bill to me. I have a H.K. & Shanghai cheque book with me, O.K.? Tell Peter not to forget the Travellers cheques in big fridge in Kitchen. More later, Lindy, no more paper. Thank you both again so much for everything, perhaps one day we can repay, but I don't think we could ever repay your goodness to us. Cable me anything important and be careful of yourselves.
P.S.
I'm not really with it yet.

My thanks again much love
