General Notes

Note Type

Cataloging Note

Note

Many of the entires appear to be first-draft letters or drafts for later writings. The entry at the back appears to be an introduction to a biography, or collection of stories, and specifically mentions talking with Olivia de Havilland on the phone. One entry appears to be a draft letter to be sent to Yehudi Menuhin, regarding selling the Cathedral Oaks property for $25,000.
