Fine Autograph Letter signed to an unnamed correspondent

I am not very particular as to my intention being kept private so you may communicate to whom you please and if you meet with any liberal genius who is willing to to aid our cause ... perhaps you will enlist them ...", 4 sides 8vo., 3 Brunswick Square, Bristol, Tuesday, no date

COOPER
(Lady Diana, née Lady Diana Olivia Winifred Maud Manners, Viscountess Norwich, 1892-1986, Actress & Author)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Wheatley
(wife of Dennis WHEATLEY, 1897-1977, Novelist) asking her to “consider giving a little support to the ‘Christmas Tree’ Ball, of which I am Chairman, and which takes place at the Dorchester Hotel... in aid of St. Peter’s Hospital... I know how often you must be asked to help with these charity efforts, but if you can bring a little party, or just take even two tickets, I should be more than grateful. St. Peter’s Hospital is a hospital for men suffering from stone and other kidney diseases. The surgery and treatment are all splendid, but the Hospital is crippled for want of funds, which are most urgently needed for its enlargement and, of course, for the maintenance of the up-to-date operating theatre and X-ray department. There are not nearly enough beds for the demand...”, 1 side A4, Admiralty House headed paper, 10th December no year
