Both Menotti and Fendi make people open up; he for example is the only party host who ever publicly drew out Jackie Onassis' reserve; his congrats to her on RFK's win in the 1968 CA primary was met with her flairing "Why they will just kill him like they killed my husband" a remark that made European media but not here.

In good condition lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. Signed 'Percy Anderson.' According to a pencil note Broadhurst was Beerbohm Tree's 'press agent'. He has received Broadhurst's letter late the same night and begins by informing him that he cannot go to Covent Garden the following day as he will be with a sitter. He continues: 'As I implied to you in my last letter it seems almost impossible for me to give you details of the costumes to be worn in “Joan of Arc.” Period Charles XII of France he reigned from 1403 to 1461. The dresses are of necessity tremendously fantastic & in designing them I have endeavoured to make them historically correct. Therefore what else can I say about them' Were the dresses 'fanciful' it would be easy for Anderson to describe them but 'as it is they must be rather on conventional lines'. He concludes: 'I hate to appear discourteous & if I cld. be of any use to you or to Mr. Eyles I wld. but I think you will readily understand the difficulty'. 6 October 1913; on letterhead of 55 York Terrace, Regent's Park, N.W. unknown
