This week I got a wonderful letter back from Judi Dench talking about how Beatrix helped her when she was at Central. It seemed she was someone they brought in to help students, rather than one of the regular staff. Judi said the normal teachers always told them what they were doing wrong, whereas Beatrix said what they were doing right which was much more helpful. It was a really nice and useful letter. It reminded me that I really need to get back to my research now. So I've come up with a plan to kick start the year.

Just discovered your work here. Nice to see some more details on Beatrix Lehmann's life. She was an amazing person. You haven't posted in ages, so I hope that's just life getting in the way and not anything more serious. Even if you never do any more digging, I'm loving reading through the work you have done, so thank you very much for sharing it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I'm in the final editing stages of the biography now.
