Woolton,
Sorry I haven't written much but we're terribly busy and don't finish playing 'till about 2 in the morning and by the time we've eaten we're "dead beats."
This is the street we playing (the little yellow bit at the end). I'll write a proper letter soon as I get time. I hope you're well and everything and don't worry about me I'm eating and sleeping well and keeping out of trouble xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ok and no trouble. I'll be home in 5 weeks I think (we might be going to Berlin).
cheerio,
Love John
You can just imagine Mimi simultaneously smiling and tutting as she read it.
The postcard appears in the new book, The Beatles Mach Shau in Hamburg, by Thorsten Knublauch which looks to be the final, definitive word on the Beatles in Germany.
