It is now my privilege to Live in a little home away out in the suburbs of Christchurch To see my friends in other suburbs costs 4s or more return. I receive £4 15s a week pension, for which I paid full contributions till the day I retired. From this I pay rent. coal, light, doctors’ bills and part of the cost of medicine ordered by him: the remainder for food and clothes—not beer, petrol l or tobacco —Yours, etc.. | A GRANDMOTHER. August 23, 1962.
