They are usually to thank RJ for a gift eg a scarf in 1968, and go on to tell him how things are going and to arrange a meeting. So in 1970 "...Forgive me, I've been nose deep in a script. When you next come to the theatre or are passing by..please come in and see me..Bless you." And later that year "...finished the film and I'm reading lots of ghastly scripts....have been painting the flat". And later still that year "Thank you so much for your sweet birthday wishes...so thrilled you went to the lunch .....Just off for a holiday for 10 days in the S.of France." The remaining letters are warmer in their greetings being to Darling Rodney or My dear Rodney and all signed with Love or Fond love by Boo. In 1971 "..I've been working very hard rehearsing ...think the play is a great success. Its a great laugh and thats what everyone wants these days.." In 1972 ".. At last I am beginning to feel my old self.....Please give me a ring I'd love to see you. " In 1973, "Ive left the cast of "No Sex" & I miss them so much but I couldnt carry on with it any more & now Ive stopped and relaxed I realize just how much Ive been pushing myself..." Later the same year "How lovely that you are living so near let me have your number & we can meet..".In 1974 "Your lovely spring flowers brought me such joy you sweet thing I have been trying to reach you by phone....I thought you might like to come over for a drink... In 1975 "..Yes,Ive moved and torn up and destroyed lots of things - it took me about 2 months. Now I am in a much smaller flat and still have far too many bits....saw Der Rosenkavalier - what an evening & what a production I was enchanted....In 1976, "..I am about to start rehearsing "Ladies in Retirement" opening in Guildford - if its any good I expect we might go into a London theatre..." Later that year "The show is going alright. It seems to stand up. Dulcie Grey gives a lovely performance...For my part,it seems odd being murdered and stopping half way through...I hope to see you on Friday.." And "Its cold down here & I long for a bit of warm sun....I went to see Chorus Line the other evening & love it..In 1977 "...I saw Susan and Belinda two nights ago looking flourishing. Its super that Simon has become such a star...I am not playing in "The Sacred Flame" - I just didnt want to do it . I must get back into London & sleep on my own bed." Finally,in 1988 "...I am getting plainer and plainer every day - I dont like being an old lady with a young mind. I simply hate not walking as far as I used although I can still walk from the Ritz to Selfridges,at least I did so a few weeks ago...With my love Boo."
