See Ashton s entry in the Oxford DNB. Both items in good condition, lightly aged, with evidence of mount to blank reverse of photograph. ONE: TLS. 17 January 1922. 1p, 12mo. Folded once. Signed Clemence Dane . Addressed to G. Railton Barnard, 6 The Crescent, York. She thanks him for his interesting letter : If the same question had not already crept up once or twice, I should not have thought it possible for anyone so to misunderstand Legend, but I know people do, clear as I thought I had made it. Barnard is absolutely right : Madala Grey is head over ears in love with her husband. She dies a truly happy woman, and one much to be envied. TWO: 14 x 22 cm bromide print. Portrait of a seated middle-aged Ashton, in pearls and scoop neck dress, with forced grimace, staring at the viewer over a small table, on which her hands are clasped. Laid down over the bottom of the print is a 14 x 4 cm. panel of cartridge paper, on which Ashton has typed Yours truly and written out in autograph her pseudonym Clemence Dane . The image does not appear to be in the National Portrait Gallery collection. See image.
