Additional Description

Container Summary

Contains sundry correspondence from the following: @ Diana Austin - ALS 11/21/77 (p.1 only). @ BBC - TLS 6/21/57. @ RH's mother - ALS copy, dated 6/15/57 from the Franciscan Guest House, Co, Monaghan, Ireland. Barbara Wall provides an anecdote about her in "Rene Hague, A Personal Memoir" (1989) p.29: "It has been said, Rene's mother was a nun. This sounds odd as nuns don't marry, but widows are allowed to become nuns and this had happened with Rene's mother. One fine day she became ill and her convent sent her for a spell to Pigotts to be cared for by her son and daughter-in-law. So there she was in bed upstairs in the big house being waited on by Joan. Not only that, but she insisted on wearing her nun's white coif which Joan ironed and starched every morning..." @ Michael Hanbury - ALS 5/8/79. @ Anthony Hyne - ALS 3/31/76. Other correspondence includes TL carbons sent by RH to Anthony D'Offay, Desiree Hirst, Michael Richey, and Christopher Skelton.
