Vera dear,

Thank you for such a perfect ending to our trip - I loved being with you - and it was such fun that you could join us on tour.

All is well at home - I am here bodily, but the mind hasn't crossed the ocean yet - it will take a few more days.

Thank you for everything and much love,

Grace.

Letter from Princess Grace to her friend, fashion designer Vera Maxwell, dated March 13, 1978.

I think it is heavenly that she keeps clothes, and the last time we met I said, ‘Don’t throw away anything you have of Zuckerman - a well known American designer of the fifties. You must give them to the Smithsonian.’
