CLARK
(Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, 1903-1983, Art Historian, Life Baron)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed ‘K’ to ‘Dearest Ava’ LADY WAVERLEY
(1896-1974, wife of Sir John Anderson, Viscount Waverley) saying that he owes her “two letters of thanks for the most delightful evenings... adored the trip down the Avon & equally the ring of Valkyrie. It has always been my favourite of the Cycle... We had a most delightful day & evening with Mollie & Walter at Drumlanrig. I think the most beautiful house in Scotland with the most beautiful things in it... what possessions they have! It is incredible - where on can spend an evening with Queen Elizabeth sitting in chairs given by Charles II to Monmouth - in a room lit by sconces given to Monmouth by Charles II & so on ad infinitum - one is transported into another world... How sad it will be when Drumlanrig becomes a kind of Chateau of the Loire? That is the only sorrow about Chatsworth. Admirable as the arrangement is - how much better it would have been if Anconer could have gone on living there. Houses very quickly turn into Museums - & die. Mollie is really a genius at entertaining. To transport the whole household from Boughton to Drumlanrig & back & have 22 people to dinner every night - is a triumph! I put you, & Mollie & Diana Cooper as the three best hostesses in my generation. How happy I am to know & love them all! & enjoy such hospitality. I wish you and John weren’t going away in the summer & could have come either her - or to Glancomer for the Festival...”, 4 sides 4to., Harwood Bonchester Bridge, Hawick headed paper, 27th June no year
