Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 27 August: Got 10 letters today, all the news good

Friday, 27 August 1937

Got 10 letters today, all the news good, also £1 from Bill. Packed my big suitcase to send to Sydney by Malgoi?, paid 13/6, then to Harley St for my visa 8/6 – bought dress for Jess, 10/6, had my hair curled at the edges – 25/ – ready for the trip. Mrs Cantor and I went for a walk after dinner. Bought babies (sic) dress for Jess, 15/6.

[Suspect Malgoi is the name of a ship but can not find any reference to it in Trove, etc in shipping news.]
