Dear Don,
You will be surprised to receive this letter & probably know nothing of me! I am the elder daughter of your Uncle Henry Tate & sister of Gladys, who has given me your address. I think you had a brother too!
I regret to tell you my Father passed away 24th Nov in a private Nursing Home. I telephoned Gladys asking her to let his relatives know, as I had no addresses. For private reasons she was unable to do this & I was sorry as so few people came to funeral. He was cremated as he wished after a very beautiful Church service at St. Peters. At the great age of 94½ years, his friends had pre-deceased him, apart from Freemasons of his Lodge who came & sent a beautiful wreath, as they had visited him fairly recently.
He came to Dorset over two years ago, as his stepdaughter could no longer keep him with her. He needed constant attention for some time & had cancer of the tongue but no pain & old age & sclerosis.
Would you kindly inform any relatives he may have living for me please? His end was very peaceful.
I am sorry to hear you lost your Father - whom I had not seen since a very young infant. It would have been too far for you to travel in any case probably.
During my Father's second marriage I saw little of him, but he turned to me after he became a widower again.
I am a widow too having lost my husband with cancer a year ago last April - a major operation a year previously.
It seems wrong any family members not knowing. I hope you will understand.
Yours sincerely
Hilda M. Linington

PS Cremation at Winton.
Is Uncle Bernard still alive?
He may remember me. He would be old too.
I may move later to my son in Bucks (unmarried).

Dear Vera & Don,
Thank you for the Greeting card, I was pleased to hear from you, also to know Babs had written to you, she has been most helpful in so many ways.
I now feel I should have sent you a line before, life is a terrible rush here most days, we have 36 old people.
Yes it's sad Dad is no longer with us, seems impossible after all these years, he was 94 years, wonderful too, he did not suffer, one big blessing. We have been worried and worried for several years over cancer in his mouth, spread to his tongue and would have reached his throat in time after several years of treatment he had too.
Babs' husband died in the same Nursing Home at Bournemouth of the same complaint not two years ago yet.
I did think of you but felt sure you couldn't have reached Bournemouth. Rosemary and I had a good train journey down, but were 5 hours getting home then got a taxi. Lovely service as he would have wished.
Rosemary passed The City & Guild, London Institute Exam with credit into 4th year at College now.
Hope you are all well.
My wishes & love
from Gladys
