The loss of May's items is also mentioned on Sunday 6 July, but in that diary entry also, the name of the item/s is also difficult to decipher.
I think this word is 'furs'. There is no dot over the word, and Miles always dots her letter 'i's.
On 19 June 1953 (10072597200) Miles mentions wearing 'Jno's grey fox fur', so the spelling of the word 'fur' can be compared there.
'Jno's fur' is also mentioned on 20 June 1952
Thank you, Barbie! I'll correct the transcriptions.
