  Dear Petie:

  I have a check for $4250 bucks in payment of the sale to Leonard Bernstein of the Mercedes!!! The car will remain here in Beverly Hills and he will put it in first rate condition and has assured me that you kids can drive it whenever you are in the area. Well, anyway, I don't know how long we can hold him to this but I am beginning to think that I could perhaps have made him pay $5000.00 because he certainly did seem eager to get it. Harrah's man, too, had begun to show some interest. The only trouble was the same man was appraising the car for both Harrah's and Bernstein so I don't know just whether or not they had arranged anything between them. How, as you might have guessed by now, the Daddy does not have any of the documents in his strong-box that you said he should have. The only thing we could find was the letter saying that you were sending all of these things. I have no idea even what they look like in order to try and find them but I think that it would be impossible for me to find them. The agent for Bernstein says that we have to have the slip from England at the time that you bought the car and, with that, he says, there will be a full history of the car. I made out a notarized certification, saying that I was the owner of the car, having purchased it from you, and that I had imported it into California in 1956 and it had not been registered in California. He says, however, that he must have this sales slip in order to register the car here. Daddy insists that it is not in the strong box, although the letter was there, and he is going to look among his other documents about other cars, but I am not very hopeful. Can you think a few minutes and think back as to whether or not you ever actually saw these things in this strong box? I am going to call Crellie tonight and ask him about it, too. Incidentally, we found the spotlight in the trunk and another old lamp which he took with him, but he spotted those boxes of stuff up in the top of the garage and proceeded to haul them down, saying that perhaps they were the light. I said no that that stuff had all been put up there long before the car had come, but he hauled it down, anyway, which made me a little provoked. He found a box of old horns, and so on, and wanted to buy them from me, saying that he was interested in these things but I said that I would have to ask permission from my sons before selling them. But I must be sure and not sell these horns without getting some sort of idea as to what they are worth. These people are all rascals and I don't have much confidence in any of them, although I liked Bernstein the best. He is a lawyer here and a friend of a Doctor, who seems to be a good person. No one can be too honest, however, and have enough money to keep fifteen or twenty of these old cars!!!

  I know that everyone was unhappy about having this car go away and yet it seems to me that it's much more sensible to have it be repaired and kept in first-rate condition rather than just decay the way it would if we continued to keep it. Certainly we do not have the money to get it in good condition. I suspect that it is going to take a good bit of money to restore it, too. Several thousand more I’ve been told.

  I cannot insist that the Daddy spend too much time hunting for this staff because he is so terribly busy, and yet I am afraid that we really need that Bill of Sale.

  I shall let you know when my plans are fixed and I shall see you in London certainly. Perhaps you would prefer me to wait a bit before staying with you in your home. You know Kay Cole has been after me for a long time to stay with them and let Lester show off what a good cook he is.

  I send you much love, and I hope that you approve of the sale of this car. It is, I think, a good price but perhaps not the very highest I might have received.

  The Daddy has come home and has said that he has not been able to find the Bill of Sale nor any of the things which your letter says you have sent. Perhaps if you could describe the size of these things it might help me if I decide that there is any chance at all that I might find them. The Daddy seems to feel that he has never seen them but I think this can't be right. I shall telephone to Crellin and see if he knows anything about them. You are absolutely certain, I suppose, that you did send them.

  Love to you, Mama

  Crellie says never saw them. Linda ditto, Linie ditto, Daddy ditto (?), Mama ditto. Great mystery.

• Letter from Amy Swerdlow to AHP and others, RE: Swerdlow thinks that the women have to make more careful preparations on the statements coming out of the meeting in the Hague. Discusses the statement to be taken to the NATO ministers and the task of formulating a statement that will unify all the national groups and all opinions. Kay Cole has asked for a statement to be available on the first day of the conference outlining the plans for the three days. Dagmar plans to have her speech ready in time to have it translated in advance. Some women will be coming from England, Germany, and Belgium for only one day, so Swerdlow suggests that plans be made for a meeting on the 13th to properly receive these women and include them in the demonstration. Suggests getting women from France or Belgium to help with agenda planning. Asks May to revise the agenda and get it out to the women who are working on the conference. Helen Fruman is almost finished with the peace pact. [Filed under AHP Materials re: Peace and Women: (Women International Strike for Peace, 1962-1967), Box #4.005, Folder #5.3]
