Hi K

Yep, still got it.
I'm still on dial-up, so may not get them all reduced and sent tonight, but will try....

Oh, I hope you still get free telephone calls, or are those days long gone?

Please send them at the most convenient time for you — which certainly doesn't have to be right now!

Bren!  I'm feeling quite overwhelmed!

So it was all to do with formal bankruptcy — he even had to give up his car! 
There's something quite tragic in reading dispassionate lists of someone's "worth", laid bare to all and sundry.

I can't thank you enough.
(I'll send you an email shortly.)

Hi K

Yes quite sad reading.....

Contents of both files now sent.
Let me know if there are any pages you can't read.
Can get access to broadband at the weekend if necessary to send "high quality" image.

Hi K

Don’t forget to PM me your postal address so that I can send you a CD with the High Resolution photos now that you know it is the right person.

They are just SOOO much better quality than the ones I sent you via my dial-up.


Regards
Bren.

Hi Bren

Yes, it would be super to have high-resolution versions. I still can't thank you enough for photographing them — 38 pages!

PM sent.

Regards
K.

Bren!

The photos have arrived safely and they are even better than I imagined!  Seeing so clearly the actual pages which were written over 80 years ago really gives a sense of ... I don't know ... passage of time, bygones, aspirations and disappointments of our previous generations ... hmmm, musn't get all soppy!!



Thank you for all you've done for me.
