"Ric" to "Rac", 1957-03-27

"Darling Rac, Everything here has gone off [splendidly?] and faster than Barclays thought possible. They have got [?] of your [?] from High Wycombe and can therefore [?] open the amount for you at Cannes without bothering you. This morning at 8.30 your time I telephoned to Erik Dunstan and asked him to get the doctor to send a telegram authenticated by Barclays, Cannes to Barclay London requesting them to provide foreign exchange for a stated number of days for your recovery and at 11.30am our time I was rung up by Barclays London to tell me that they had the telegram and that I can pick up the cheques tomorrow..."
