1970–1980

Autograph letter signed to Beaton, from Sutton Coldfield. Hopes Beaton enjoyed his trip abroad and can now meet with his publishers request. Knew Beaton would be able to sort out the accuracy of her mothers relationships with regard to his family. Her mother would have been very angry if she refused Beaton permission to use some of her descriptions. Thanks Beaton for his courtesy in asking if he may use her mother's letter. Asks if she could borrow the letter to copy it. Her mother's first names were Alice Lowthian and her maiden name was Kershaw. Gives more details of her family.
3p; paper.

7 Oct. 1970–7 Oct. 1980

Autograph letter signed to Beaton, from Sutton Coldfield. It was kind of Beaton to trust her to return her mother's letter. Found it haunting. Is returning Beaton's letter and a photocopy. Also encloses her one and only publication. Works for the Ministry of Housing and in 1968 was asked by the Housing Management Department to write an article for their staff magazine. They are housed in Birmingham and their publication is called the Bush Telegraph. The article enclosed shows the sort of life being led by people threatened with eviction, mostly immigrants. The only help they can offer them is to try to reduce their rents. Asks Beaton about the progress of his book.
3p; paper.

15 Oct. 1970–15 Oct. 1980
