Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Probably related to the article “Kalmykoff Collection Hunt Begun, ‘Lady’ Diana Denies Mystery as Bay City Bank Starts Search for Treasures.” Los Angeles Times, 14 Jun. 1926. The article states: “… ‘Lady’ Diana Bathurst … denied that there is any mystery connected with it. ‘…The collection was divided by probate last year, a son of the painter and his adopted daughter, Mrs. Galina Nitikin Dolgoloff … receiving the various works.’ … attorney for Mrs. Dolgolopoff … intimated that the matter of ownership of the collection has been settled…” First page of a handwritten letter, photographed on cloth background, with small crown as letterhead. Text reads: Dear Galina, If you had showed a little trust in me when Mrs. Spangler came to you & come to me with a friend of yours we could have gone to Mr. [Maltman?] who is Southern Californias most honorable lawyer and he could have straightened it out for us. That is the part that hurts - that you immediately believed Virginia Geraldine Hurst was also known as Lady Diana Bathurst Text from nitrate negative sleeve for uclamss_1429_0887: Bathurst, Diana Lady Text from nitrate negative sleeve: Baumann, Paul, engineer [incorrect] Handwritten at edge of negative: Lady Diana Bathurst [Letter?
