Comments as requested
editApart from the sentence beginning "The GPO detectives had a periscope mirror", which I didn't understand at all, it all seems fine to me. Tim riley talk 07:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Wonderful. Thank you! - SchroCat (talk) 08:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Apols: two more points:
- "The letters continued to be delivered, including by Gooding's husband". He received rather than delivered his letters presumably, so perhaps "...continued to be received..."?
- "The Swans moved house away from Western Road" - shouldn't this be "The Goodings..."? Tim riley talk 11:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Apols: two more points:
