Caitlin complains "about the way I have been treated by that suspicious British bunch" and asks him to "withdraw your contribution to the London fund" so she and her son could purchase "a present habitation for us." She asks for £3000 and informs him that "Llewelyn , who is most efficient in these things, would send you the exact practical details of the transaction."
Llewelyn sends "thanks that you'll release the American money to my mother," and continues: "You should, firstly, write to the Royal Bank of Scotland . . . . [T]ell them to put the £3000 from the Ameriacn fund only at the disposition of my mother, Caitlin Thomas . . . ."
