VITA ENJOYED THE PAMPHLET THAT 'VI' (VIOLET TREFUSIS) HAD SENT HER
SACKVILLE WEST
(Vita, 1892-1962, Poet & Novelist)
Fine Typed Letter Signed "Vita Nicolson" to Eva Mabel TENISON
(1880-1961, Historian and Novelist), at Hedingham Castle, saying that it was "nice to hear from you again. I am afraid that I have got no family history of the Wests, so cannot tell you whether the Sir Thomas West you refer to was an ancestor of mine or not. I daresay you may be able to find out from Lady De La Warr ... I have not read either of the two pamphlets you mention and should love to see them. I did so much enjoy reading the article about the Duke of Alba which Vi sent on to me, I think at your request. It was most admirably done ...", 1 side 8vo., with original envelope, Sissinghurst Castle headed paper, 4th May

“WE MUST HOPE THAT THE DUTCH GIRL MISBEHAVES HERSELF AND HAS TO BE SENT BACK TO HOLLAND”
SACKVILLE WEST
(Vita, 1892-1962, Poet & Novelist)
Typed Letter Signed “Vita Nicolson” to Miss Patricia Kelly,
saying that “it was such a pleasure to see you again and I am only sorry that I wasn’t up and thus able to see more of you. I had some difficulty in running my cousins to earth as there was no reply to their telephone in London, but I found them eventually having a holiday on Hayling Island. I am afraid it sounds rather as though they had got a Dutch girl to help with the children, but I gave my cousins your address and telephone number and asked them to communicate with you. We must hope that the Dutch girl misbehaves herself and has to be sent back to Holland...”, 2 sides 8vo., with original typed envelope, Sissinghurst Castle headed paper, 27th July
