Dearest Sylvia:

I have just read your letters on South's most carefully. I notice that he says you could not expect more than 1500 from the Trustees (probably less). That means Georgie's 1000 (almost all of it) would go on the purchase or 46. Therefore we would not have enough for immediate repairs (estimated at 600-700). I have worked out more sums, and I am not hopeful unless the owner will accept 2000 for the house. I will make that offer today: it must our top price. If Foster & Foster are interested in that I will ask their advice about a builder's free estimate - but not until then.

I hate the thought of not getting the house, and me still away. But it is a house - only one house among hundreds - not a symbol - as I am reconciling myself to the possibility of finding somewhere else, if need be. You should, too, I think. Victor Pasmore suggests we look in Greenwich: the parts of it are nasty, the nice parts are excellent. He points out it is cheaper than Blackheath/ That is a lead, I think. The Lewisham side of the Heath is another possibility.

I have to shave, prepare my lecture, and go to town. I will add the results of my interview with F & F to this letter.

I have just read your letter and Soute's most carefully. I notice that he says you could not expect more than 1500 from the Trustees (notably less). That means georgie's 1000 (almost all of it) would go on the purchase of 46. Therefore we would not have enough for immediate repairs (estimated at 600-700). I have worked out more sum, and I am not hopeful unless the owner will accept 2000 for the house. I will make that offer today: it must be our top price. If Foster and Foster are interested in that I will ask their advice about a free estimate - but not until then.
I hate the thought of not getting the house, and one still may. But it is a house - only one house among hundreds - not a symbol. So I am reconciling myself to the probability of finding somewhere else, if need be. You should, too, I think. Victor Parmore suggests we look in Greenwich; the parts of it are nasty, the nice parts are excellent. He paints out it is cheaper than Blackheath. That is a lead, I think. The side of the Heath is another probability.

I have to shave, prepare my bedtime, and go to Town. I will add the results of my interview with F and F to this letter.
