A DRAFT statement from John Lennon's former housekeeper is set to be sold at a Penketh auction house next month for an estimated £5,000.
Omega Auction, on Penketh Business Park, Liverpool Road, will be selling the item as part of a wider Beatles memorabilia auction on March 24.
The previously unseen and unpublished five page document, which was drafted in 1968 by a solicitor dealing with the divorce of Lennon and his first wife Cynthia, details housekeeper Dot Jarlett's account of what she saw while working for the singer at his family home.
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 while Cynthia was away.
