This letter like the one in the previous lot reveals McCartney's struggle and disillusionment at the start of his career. The vendor, a fan from Liverpool, met The Beatles when they were performing at local dance halls and clubs and particularly got to know them when they played at The Grosvenor in Manor Road, Wallasey where they were popular with everyone except the hall's caretaker who used to complain about the noise. The vendor and her friends used to visit them on Sunday mornings after church, at a flat they used in Gambler Terrace, taking them 'food parcels' as they always seemed to be hard up. (See footnote to previous lot).
