Mariela Pez Miana from Spain is a regular visitor to the website and back in 2017, dare I say!, brought to my attention a small collection of letters written by Winifred Fortescue that are held in an archive in the U.S.A. The letters and two small cards were written between 1936 and 1941 and are all to the same person, a Mistress Frances Hubbert of the Redwood Library, Newport, Rhode Island. The subject is primarily connected with Winifred's attempt to get her books published in the U.S.A. and it is apparent from the contents that Mistress Hubbert was a great help and support. (The impending WWII is also mentioned). I am extremely grateful to the Redwood Library and Athenaeum, Newport, Rhode Island, U.S.A.'Frances Hubbert Papers' for allowing these wonderful letters to be reproduced and displayed on the web site.
