She further added, They don't design- they just steal from one another and magazines, etc. Some day before long I am going to write a story about a real dress designer - and one that I admired from the bottom of my heart'. She also wrote, Just had dinner with Bette Davis - read the awful script they wanted her to accept. I quite agree with her for rejecting it. She is also very tired. Blinkie. Date: 1938
