A letter - to Dearest Hill and Kiffer from Jacqueline du Pré (Jackie), November year unknown, 6 pages, on Kellogg Center headed paper, "The concerts stick out mostly because I've enjoyed playing very much and they've gone well." "The conductor of the last concert … lives under a death sentence due to masses of illnesses picked up at Auschwitz." "He had that patient kind of acceptance in his face that you sometimes see in crippled people." "American children only start the simplest fundamental letter learning when they are 7 and are taught excessively slowly." "One Mum shared me with pride that her son can even write his name in capital letters at nearly 8 years old." "Last night was the Dvorak concerto here - I must say that it is an incredible piece to play when it goes well!" "Danny has just told me that Harpers Bazaar (an American magazine) is coming to take my photograph…for the series 'Great Beauties of Today' !!!" "There is nothing like that to make you feel the ugliest thing around, and anyway, in my present pimply state, I fear a photograph for acne removal would be more appropriate! "Fascinated by American mouths…rows of perfect teeth…and a charming aren't we chums expression." "… to play a recital in a hall which seats 3,000 people. Like a football stadium - perfect for chamber music!"
