Dear Mum and Dad,
Thank you for your card. We celebrated by going out to dinner in Singapore and had a grand evening. Henry wrote a long letter to which I have replied. He said they would be glad to have any of the children in the summer. I am sure they would love to visit but of course will be coming out here in July. Hope you have recovered from Adrienne's stay. I am afraid she is a bit too quick with her school work but there is little one can do to change this. At least I did not change. When you mention 28 waist I trust you you do not mean inches as if so A must be getting pretty tubby. Elisabeth has been up to Westminister Abbey and No 10, where they had their photos taken. She writes a good letter. Her piano playing is the latest thing which she enjoys. Guy Sayer, who I took over from as Manager Osaka, is now a director as well as one of the three General managers. He has come a long way in less than four years. Mike Calvert who stayed in my flat for a time in HK is going to New York as manager. We had a night out with them when they passed through Singapore for leave. Lots of rain and thunder here but I see that your weather has been warmer this last week. A big tree came down in the garden in a storm and we are cutting it up to remove it from the lawn. A large snake was killed by the Kebun a few days ago and I hope it had not got a mate in the grounds. We will see.
All our love Margo & Peter xxx
P.S. Will send cheque in another letter - Many thanks for buying A's things.
