Documents detailing the breakdown of John Lennon’s marriage to first wife Cynthia will go to auction in Warrington next month.
Witness statement from Lennon's housekeeper reveals early days of relationship with Yoko Ono
The
previously unseen and unpublished five page dossier, which was drafted
in 1968 by a solicitor dealing with the divorce of Lennon and Cynthia,
includes a draft statement made by the Beatles member’s former
housekeeper, Dorothy Jarlett.
It details the housekeeper’s account of what she saw while working for Lennon at his family home Kenwood in Weybridge, Surrey.
The
statement details changes in his moods following drug abuse, his
attitude towards his son Julian, and the change in his morning routine,
which saw Dorothy no longer allowed to take him breakfast in bed due to
Yoko Ono spending the night, supposedly in a separate room whilst
Cynthia was away.
The documents, which are expected to fetch up
to £5,000, are part of a wider auction of Beatles memorabilia taking
place at Omega Auctions in Warrington on Tuesday, March 24.
I think this is so sad.
