See her entry and the recipient's in the Oxford DNB. The two items are in fair condition, lightly aged and worn. The letter is lightly creased and the card has a central vertical fold. ONE: ALS. 1p, 12mp. Signed ‘Marjory Kennedy-Fraser’. Once the recipient has ‘got what you want out of the Vol III herewith’, she asks her to ‘kindly return it to Mrs. Matthay at 96, Wimpole St’. TWO: ACS. On card the whole of the front of which is taken up with an advertisement, with half-page portrait of the pair and small oval portrait of Marjory Kennedy-Fraser, for a concert for the pair at the Aeolian Hall in Bond Street. If Miss Scott can come to the recital on 18 February she ‘might give you an interview for the “Monitor” immediately after’. She suggests another day that might suit Mrs Scott more.
