In a letter from Gertie Ebert to Audrey Christie, 14 August 1951, Gertie writes, “...a Glyndebourne without Audrey! “Glyndebourne” is not the same without you who created that special atmosphere of warmth, human culture and friendship, that private and personal touch in an otherwise impersonal professional opera company…With you missing this “mixture” we have been used to - and gladly! - has lost its flavour and leaves us like children on slippery ground.”

01 telegram is from ‘Carl and Fritz’ to Audrey Christie, 20 August 1951, in which they state “All Glyndebourne singers stars and chorus miss their guardian angel very badly at tonights battle and send you their heartfelt wishes and love.”
