Menuhin states that he has received his correspondent's letter, remarking 'and I, too, pray that this may not be your last letter from an office which brought us together and contributed so much to my feeling of friendship and peace of mind in England', further adding that his wife is writing to her independently, although inviting Frost to stay with them in Gstaad in September, explaining 'your presence would be of inestimable value in handling my correspondence and freeing me to care for the rather important work I have at that time'. Menuhin concludes 'Many thanks for attending to all the different chores I have you. I do hope that the next weeks will provide you with relaxation and clear the mind from the myriad of petty problems you have had to face these last months.' Together with an A.N.S., Yehudi Menuhin, on an oblong 12mo card (most likely originally accompanying a gift or flowers), n.p., December 1954, to Miss Frost, 'celebrating a long and happy companionship'. Also including an A.L.S., Yehudi Menuhin, three pages, 8vo, London, 29th May 1955, to Miss Muriel Frost, on the printed stationery of Claridge's. Menuhin announces 'I will long recall the particular quality which your blend of devotion and ability conveyed to a relationship which has spanned the greater part of my life - a constant, unfailing element of support and comfort' and continues 'Amid a shifting background and standing often as a lonely pillar in a sea of debris, you guarded intact the life-lines and the essential parts of the matter' and concluding by remarking 'I only hope that you will bring your friendly and lively face often to see me'. Accompanied by the original envelope. Further including a vintage signed and inscribed postcard photograph of Menuhin in a head and shoulders pose playing his violin. Photograph by Fayer of Vienna. Signed by Menuhin in dark fountain pen ink to the lower white border and dated December 1955 in his hand and a signed and inscribed hardback edition of Yehudi Menuhin - The Story of the Man and the Musician by Robert Magidoff, First Edition published by Doubleday & Company Inc., New York, 1955.

A.L.S., Diana Menuhin, two pages, 4to, Los Gatos, California, 10th September n.y. (late 1950s?), to Miss. Frost. Most likely writing following the death of her third child shortly after birth, Menuhin thanks her correspondent for their 'sweet & sympathetic letter' and continues 'It was a stupidly cruel shock and I am fighting hard to overcome the anguished feeling of emptiness & waste. I have, though, so much in life that I would be a very ungrateful & egoistic (sic) creature if I could not conquer my sadness, and I have such a loving family and friends that I know myself to be very fortunate', concluding by hoping that they will be able to meet for lunch or dinner in London in the future, and further features a series of sixteen vintage Christmas greetings cards from the Menuhin family, the majority inscribed by Diana Menuhin and signed by her on behalf of her husband and family, the stiff oblong small 8vo folding cards dated 1943, 1954 (2), 1956-59, 1961-67, 1969-70, each of the cards featuring different images (some colour, a few now detached although present), most depicting the Menuhin's children although some also including Yehudi and Diana.
