Bryn_Hammond Posted 25 February , 2004 Share Posted 25 February , 2004 There are some sets of papers at the IWM belonging to people who met or corresponded with her. Try Searching www.iwmcollections.org.uk and choosing the 'All' option and putting Sandes in the Description of Item Content/Associations box.
