Dear Mrs Le Tissier
I have managed to get for you allowed from the States, a cask of T.V.O oil - about 40 galls. It costs £3-0-11
It can be burnt in Tilly Lamps, or others but is not safe in a glass container so I have borrowed lamps for you.
Our telephones have all been taken now.
I have arranged for you both to go to Mrs de Carterets, Espedase, The Avenue, Sark before the house if got ready - on your arrival I will send my horse and van down to bring up your belongings! When you get the bill for your transport, you can let me have it. I have written about your coal and coming over with you. I don't think you will have any trouble - if any difficulty, get in touch with Mr R.O Falla at Hurzel House, as he will know, and it is by his kind efforts we are having the oil allowed for you.
I think it would be best to bring your rations with you for the current week and then our Food Controller will deal with the new registrations for you here. Kind regards.
Yrs sincerely,
Sibyl Hathaway
