3rd part
Tell Anita I will pay for her uniforms -
?????

I read the same, but the second line remains difficult.
Could you post the following line too? Hopefully this will help.

I have come in late on this one.  :) Can't help much, I'm afraid, but I think I can see:

Rosie is being too tiresome about the
cottage. As she is 3 months in arrears in
her rent, and the ... agents ... it is ... ...
open to new tenants at ...double what she pays.
I hope she and Anita will use it whenever
she want to, & tell her I said so. It is so that
it could be a refuge for her & Anita that I
let her have it so cheaply, and ... she doesn't

What say you, Zefiro?  ;D

I can't help but see congratulations in the middle of the 2nd line, but I could be completely wrong!  :-\

Zefiro says you're right. ;D

her rent, and the agents could let it 50? times
over?
to new tenants at double what she pays.

I'm not sure, so proof me wrong if needed ;)

I am honoured.  ;D

And your suggestion looks absolutely spiffing, I would say.  :)

Brilliant! Piece by piece, the puzzle comes together...

I wish I could work out the word in front of "love", though!
Is it something in brackets?
All I can see is something like (leave)...which does not exactly make sense.  ???
(My first thought was Heavy, but that is even less likely!  ::) )
