A glimpse of the letters showed epistles dated 1961, from two people to each other during their courtship. I have been rather fortunate and privileged to be given more than glimpses of some letters and diaries that took me back to those time immemorial. Dr Russell Jones, now in his 90s, had long promised to show me his “letters from Malaya”. Jones showed me an old rusty biscuit tin with letters bearing old stamps from Malaya. Ruth showed me diaries that her father had written and illustrated for the family.
