"Dear Bridget … I have received your lovely photo, I feel it is just me, as I am! My daughter, Christine, is very happy with it too … You certainly put me at ease when you were here. Needless to say, I am often asked for a photo to accompany biographical information for publicity purposes, would it be possible for me to have copies of this one? … Many thanks, Miriam."
