Letter Commentary: John Misses Julian

5 years ago, I posted a previous Letter Commentary about the Hamburg letter. Now that it's 60 years since this letter was written, I decided to do this again. I'll be "ripping" apart the letter to insert my commentary in between.

Where's pages 1 through 5?

Dot - Jarlett the housekeeper

Lil - Cynthia's mother

Bennie - maybe Dot's husband?

Tommy - I don't know

Jocky - I don't know but maybe John's chauffeur before he hired Les Anthony?

Whoever they all may be, they were constant visitors to the Lennon household and John was annoyed by them always being there preventing private family alone time.

While everyone could take a hike for all John's care, the one person he didn't want to send off was Julian.

I guess this is the point where John realized that Julian, being at the age of 2 years, was becoming a little man, having his own personality, and being more verbal.

I can't help but "Awwww" this part, without fail. This kinda gets to me the most.

The sad part of this part of the letter was that although I am sure John genuinely meant every single word he wrote on paper, unfortunately bad habits are hard to break. He went back to the cycle of being into his own little world, distracted, and wanted his ME time. I'm glad John acknowledged his regret of not being there for Julian - it certainly haunted him until his dying day. 

I love you very much. To Cyn from John ... Sounds like a greeting card or a present note of to & from. 27 kisses.

Charles was Cynthia's brother. At this time, Cynthia was in Libya. 

And John was determined for Cynthia to call him, was he?

Also, I wonder if anybody ever attempted to dial that number? By using California's area code.
