Title
Letter from Lady Catherine Ashburnham to Rupert Gunnis
Date
14 Oct [1945]
Description

The page is numbered 2; the top half consists of notes [by RG] concerning Ashburnham portraits, with the letter from CA written underneath, and on the reverse. CA discusses RG's comments concerning the portraits. She will be delighted to see RG with General Young on Sat 20th. She has been suffering from a bad chill. The large dining hall is lovely, except that the pictures are not yet lit; the music room only has Charlotte C[ountess] of A[shburnham] and Katherine Parr hung. The high panelling and 6 doors prevents the beloved primitives from being hung. Has had a charming letter from Lady de Lisle.
