This is a beautiful piece, a letter dated April 23rd, 1937 from Gracie Fields (early commedienne in the UK and later US of the time) to a man named Tattersall (most likely Viva Tattersall) and it reads: “Thank you for your nice letter and the album of pictures. You seem to have been dissatisfied in your life, still I hope your daughter is lucky for you as I have been for my mother. Here is a picture of me. Sincerely Yours, Gracie Fields.” She enclosed a newspaper clipping of herself in the letter, which has obviously been with it all these days – there is some acid toning to the letter from the newspaper acid.
