[Mum's spelling?] From Unather D. Palmer, Tasmania, to Jean Matthews, 11 November, 1983 - "When Aunt Delphenia died - the children were left orphans as her husband took off with another woman. Archie lived with Uncle Angelo; Arundel went into the Poor Law Institution (Workhouse) as he also suffered from fits; Cyril went away to Ipswich to work in a nursery and eventually had one of his own, coming back to live in a caravan at Vera's on the South Brink, and died there. Vera lived with [Uncle Louis &] Aunt Kate before marriage."
