Violet Rutland. Autograph letter to Beaton.

Has never understood just what Beaton wants, and has received no reply to her request for Beaton to tell her. Discusses the possible place for a picture. Is lending him a reproduction. There is a new reproduction coming out quite soon.

Manners, Marion Margaret Violet (1856-1937) Duchess of Rutland

Victoria Ocampo. Typescript letter signed to Beaton, from Mar del Plata.

In French. Is sorry not to have been able to accompany Beaton to San Isidro to see the Son et Lumiere. Beaton's judgement matters to her. Explains the difference between the San Isidro and European Son et Lumiere shows. Thanks Beaton for his letter and hopes to meet him one day.

Ocampo, Victoria (1890-1979) writer, critic, publisher and intellectual

Victor H. Boger. Autograph letter signed to Beaton, from London.

Has just finished reading Beaton's book about Auntie Jessie. She was his Great Aunt as well as his God Mother. Remembers her telling him about the events Beaton describes in his book. Aunt Jessie asked him to keep some of the items that she and Redro Suaney (?) had collected on their travels. Will eventually hand them on to his son. Reminisces about Aunt Jessie. Thanks Beaton for the pleasure his book has given.

Boger, Victor H (fl 1973)

Verrières

Typescript essay, in which Beaton describes the seventeenth-century house of the Vilmorin family, at Verrières, Paris.

Vanessa Redgrave. Typescript letter signed to Beaton.

Beaton is too kind. Expects that he had forgotten he said something "very nice" to the clothes lady on the Sunday Times, so even if she had read Nova she would not have been very upset. It is kind of him to take such trouble to make sure she should not be upset. Hopes that Beaton will be able to come to the party which Richard Buckle is organising for after the show.

Redgrave, Vanessa (b 1937) actress and political activist
