Sackville-West, Vita. A TLS to Mrs Mincoff, discussing horticulture, 'Dear Mrs Mincoff, As you will probably have seen in last Sunday's Observer I wrote an article dealing with your particular problem, and I hope that this may prove of use to you. I am afraid Irises would not do in the shade as they require full sun. The same would apply to most lilies. The jasmine would do well on the wall. How exciting for you to have grown the Madonna lily so successfully in Sofia. I am so glad that Harold Nicolson was able to get your investments released. Yours sincerely, V. Sackville-West', on Sissinghurst headed paper, dated 21st August 1951, folded.
