One letter, in part: “I am still holding my ground as a re-actionary (with a strong accent on the re) and an anti everything that is going on in Washington, but I will grant that my broadcast last Monday was the very worst that ever went over the air waves!” Another, in part: “Forgive me please! I love the handkerchief and I shall (and have) use(d) it with pleasure.” A third, in part: “Please forgive me about the chocolates. Really, I thought I had written so please let me thank you now. As a matter of fact they were very bad for me. In the first place, they ere fattening, and in the second place, they were temper exciting since each one was a New Dealer. I chewed them ferociously.” In overall fine condition. All are accompanied by their original mailing envelopes. For forty years Beale worked as a noted society columnist for The Washington Evening Star, attending thousands of galas and events in her quest to chronicle the ‘manners, customs and personalities’ of Washington’s upper crust.
