WEST
(Dame Rebecca, 1892-1983, Novelist, Journalist, Biographer and Critic)
Fine Typed Letter Signed ‘Rebecca West’ to Mr Russell
saying that “on returning here after a holiday in France I have found a letter from you concerning a volume of tributes to Ruth Pitter dated 3.9.68. I have no recollection of having seen it before, and I do not think you can have received an answer. I would just like to explain to you that just about that time my husband was taken gravely ill, and had to go into hospital, where he died in November. I would not wish you to think that my failure to answer you was due to any discourtesy or any failure to recognise the genius of Ruth Pitter. Since then I have moved from my country house, and my papers and correspondence have been swept into hopeless disorder, and I really was powerless to prevent it. I have not seen the volume and will look forward to reading it...”, 1 side 4to., 48 Kingston House North, Prince’s Gate, 5th August
