Which means that it's now possible for me to, to publish letters.

Also, uh,

At the same time, I get access to Kathleen's private papers.

And what I discover is that there's many, many more letters in her private papers than the ones that I'd found in the Library of Congress.

So there's a kind of rich tapestry of a story which emerges from Kathleen's private papers, as well as from the letters themselves.

Before I do that, you mentioned earlier a

Purnell's book, yes, about Pamela Harriman.

And also you just mentioned Catherine Gaston.

I know that you did an interview with Giles Milton not so long ago, right?

All of whom make use of Cappy and her letters as part of their narratives in those books.

The thing that's different about my book is that what I want to do, I've done in the book, I think, is to present Cathy's story in her own words.

Yeah.

A direct, giving readers direct access to what Cathy was saying in her letters.

Right.

So you can actually make your, make, make your own interpretations.

So I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying throughout the book as the editor, not to impose too much of an interpretive framework on the book.

Yeah.
