ALS signed “Vivien,” one page, 5.5 x 7, personal letterhead, February 5, 1962. Letter to a friend. In part: “I am enclosing something about which I would like your advice—has one absolutely no restitution against this sort of thing. It is too maddening to be told one’s ill in London (and I should have though[t] bad publicity) when one is working like a dog in three plays all over the world!!! I take no notice of these things when they appear weekly in the ‘Enquirer,’ but I imagine the ‘Daily News’ is a more important publication.” She adds a handwritten postscript at the conclusion, in full: “Why don’t you come see us in Latin America. I would like you Lady of the Camellias as you were as responsible dear Arnold.” Intersecting folds, a moderate block of toning, and filing holes to the top, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a laminated copy of the article referenced. Leigh’s fragile mental condition was well known to the press at the time, and she was clearly concerned about how such stories might undermine her public perception.
