ALS signed “Charles,” five pages on three sheets, 7.25 x 9.5, personal letterhead, February 16, 1986. Letter to friend and landscape consultant Vernon Russell-Smith, in part: "I have been trying to get you on the phone, but you are obviously in Norfolk talking to the gardener! I merely wanted to say that if you could come here on Tuesday 25th Feb., just after I get back from Texas, that would be splendid. I have kept that day free for recuperation from jetlag by gardening! However, if you can't manage a weekday there is always the possibility of Sun. 9th March? There are one or two things I would like advice on. One is an idea I have been considering for the 'Savill' garden bit, which would involve creating a landscaped bank of soil against the low wall, which runs round the outside of the Savill garden, so that one could plant evergreen shrubs etc on the top of it in order to create a natural screen from the back drive. At present there are hurdles along the wall to act as a screen, but they rot so quickly. We have masses of spare soil from excavations at the new home farm—and the machinery to spread it about." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in his own hand.
