DAVID
(Elizabeth, 1910-1992, Cookery Writer & Chef)
Autograph Letter Signed ‘Elizabeth’ in a Christmas card to an unnamed recipient
sending that she has “sent a card to Birgit and Frank explaining that I had my telephone number changed - an effort to abolish temptation and get on with my book - the measure hasn’t been crowned with conspicuous success. It drags and drags, has become so long I’ll have to cut acres of it. But I suppose I had to spend the time doing the necessary research. As you will know, behind three or four lines, there often lies a month of writing and re-writing and re-writing again... I would so like to take you to the Lebanese restaurant. Had a gorgeous lunch there last week, at the management’s invitation...”, 2 sides inside a card with a printed greeting and a reproduction of a print in the V & A ‘Mince Pies’, on the front, 6” x 4½” on folded card, no place, Christmas
