"I don't know if Mrs Hicks told you that they are coming down on March 11th - I am coming down too - probably by car - but hope to arrive lunchtime - & Mrs Kerr is coming to see me that afternoon - I do hope I can get things settled - Will you get on to Mrs Budd and can you both rally round? I must owe you both a lot of money by now! / We shall probably be there 2 or 3 days - I am not quite sure as Mrs Hicks is in the Pacific this moment - bathing! No other amenities there apparently - no roads, no cars, except an jeep or two, very moderate hotel - BUT lovely beaches and a hot sea. / We enjoyed going to Egypt - came back and immediately got flu and then I got a bad abscess in my jaw, but have had 2 teeth out and am more cheerful now. / The boys get their birthdays Peter March 26 & John 31st - rather an annoying gap. / News and plans when we meet. Hope your mother is all right again / Yours Agatha Mallowan 'Get what you think necessary in and a veal and ham pie and perhaps some filet steaks?", formerly from Agatha Christie’s home, Greenway House, Devon
