So a significant amount of money.

And apparently it was enough for him to quit his job and leave London.

He heads back to Wales, where he is from, to stay with his aunt and uncle.

And they ask him the obvious question, where are his wife and daughter?

And he says that they have gone to visit Beryl's father, and that's why he's there all by himself.

And if red flags are going up for you, they probably should be.

So that's November 9th, 1949.

Fast forward 20 days to November 29th, 1949.

Tim's mother, who had been in regular contact with Burl before Tim left London, learns what he has been telling others about Burl.

And the one thing Tim's mom knows is...

If she's off visiting her dad, she would still be in contact with her.

And she hasn't heard anything from her in three weeks.

So she writes a letter to Tim's aunt, the one that he's staying with, which reads, quote, I don't know what lies Tim have told you down there.

I have not seen Beryl or the baby for a month.

There is some mystery about him.

I never want to see him as long as I live.

Everywhere I go, people asking for money he owes them.

I am ashamed to say he is my son.

It's rough.

But probably appropriate.
