(20th June 1970), to Mademoiselle Monica Viard, on the printed stationery of the Palace Hotel, in French. Baker acknowledges receipt of Viard´s lovely letter, and thanks her for their kindness and generosity towards the children, continuing ´J´aimerais vous parler plus longuement de tout cela mais je ne trouve pas les paroles pour exprimer ma gratitude. Tout se que je peuz dire c´est merci, encore merci´ (Translation: ´ I would like to talk to you at greater length about all this, but I cannot find the words to express my gratitude. All I can say is thank you, thank you again´). Beneath her signature Baker pens a brief holograph postscript, ´une baisse des enfants´ (Translation: ´on behalf of the children´). Accompanied by the original envelope with the return address, at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, penned by Baker to the verso. VG
