Although she and her sister Katty corresponded 'continuously' (Lucy Ellmann's word), sometime in the 1980s Katty, described by Lucy as 'very houseproud,' decided, as Lucy put it, 'to throw out all of my mother's letters - purely for tidying purposes ... My father was beside himself when he heard this, claiming that the whole history of our family was in those letters.'
