Mystery letter

[SarrissUK]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if you can help me. I've received this letter in the post today, and I can't seem to interpret what it says!

This is what I think I can read.. line by line:

Dear Tina
let you no old Pam she ..... she ....
96 ...... 91 Christmas day
Should you like her Sunday hat with the flowers
and blue coat only has 1 month ....
in the sleeve ... yer with the fish van
Let people at funeral
if yer like hat and coat I post it
To you. Me phone is....
Hope you're well and still England not gone to Sweden
All the best

Old Jason (?)

Please help! It seems the person writing to me is from the funeral directors.

The jist as I read it:-

The letter is to let you know old Pam has gone. If you would like old Pams hat with the flowers and blue coat (one moth hole in the sleeve) let the funeral directors know and Jan (I think it is Jan) will post it on. Jan was 91 on christmas day. She hopes you are well and still in England and not Sweden her phone number is...

What a lovely letter, Sarriss.
I think its Pam and Tom. Have added a bit to the letter.

I think VC got it rite

Thank you, I will give them a ring tomorrow. How sweet Pam was a customer of mine up until a couple of years ago.
Thank you again

A good idea to make the phone call Sarriss, like Thelma I think VC got it right and irispective what it is, he wants to give you a gift to remember them by.


And now I need to go and have a serious talk with myself as this is the third or fourth time I have thought VC is correct

[Cadalot]

Rary I hate to be the one to tell you but 99% of the time she is !!!!

My only differing from VC is I think it's Old John... It has a similar tail off to the word gorn and van.

Rary I hate to be the one to tell you but 99% of the time she is !!!!

Cad that 1% still means she is wrong in quite a lot

[veggiechicken]

The only time I've ever been wrong is when I used to think you were young, rary..

[SarrissUK]

Thank you all - I didn't get the chance to ring them today, but I will ring in the morning. I will carefully avoid asking for a specific person when I ring them because I'm looking at the letter and trying to see the names you've suggested, but I just can't make it out haha

I think VC is closest. Very good interpretation of what I guess is a Cornish accent, as the phone number is I think, Penzance.

I agree it's Tom, not Jan or John. A "J" would have the tail looped back up over the stem and the crossbar looped down over the stem...
