Title
Letter from Frances Hipwell, 11 Cromwell Grove, West Kensington Park to T C Hipwell
wants to know how much drawn out of 'fresh hundred we have broken into'
sums Harry has had + rent of £9.10s a week to Wesson; interest from money in the Mill insufficient, can not make ends met
in past able to do so because of writer's mother's legacies
she had hoped to be able to help but increased engagements led to increased expenses
going to Scotland, had to buy warmer clothing
got to 'dress equal to one of the swells' if one sings at the Albert Hall or the Choral Union, Glasgow as a young beginner
only paid a small sum for a first appearance
going to draw on rest of £100 - obliged to do this to get over expensive time
please send 820; not a penny in the house - wants to buy some coal
move was necessary from Bassein Road - as writer now continually out, living as economically as possible
