I really did think, you all where [sic] simply wonderful', conclduing that she hopes the Club scene is still going strong, 'my best regards to the few I know. Bye for now, Yours, Ruth Ellis', on printed feint-ruled Prison paper with prisoner's name, number, date and a few offical marks in ink at head of paper, split in two along centrefold with old sellotape marks to verso, some creasing and soiling and fraying at margins, 8vo. Ruth Ellis shot her lover David Blakely dead on 10th April 1955, was arrested at the scene of the crime and taken straight to Holloway Prison. Her trial at the Old Bailey began 20th June and a guilty verdict was returned two days later. She was executed on 13th July, famously the last woman to be hanged in England. Provenance: This letter comes from the Green family. Joan, Betty, Ronnie and Lisa were all London drinking club friends of Ellis, and are believed to be the only visitors she had while in prison. The Green family remember Joan saying that when they visited Ruth Ellis at Holloway she had told them, 'I want to die because Blakely was the love of my life'. (1)
