“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
