Mrs. P.'s seat mate is not the affiable Arab businessman he seems and the little carved plaque he secretly stashes in her carry on bag is not a m (illustratore). This time Mrs. Pollifax is on loan to her retired CIA friend Farrell. Her bag lady act is the first phase of a mission to the Middle East: to smuggle out of Jordan the final manuscript of the dissident Iraqi novelist Dib Assen, who was recently murdered in an Iraqi prison. Allegedly fiction, the script encodes the shocking truth of Saddam Hussein's reign. Allah willing, Farrell is to rendezvous near Anman with a man called Ibrahim, who will deliver the manuscript. All Mrs. P. has to do is look as much like a tourist as possible to deflect suspicion from her "cousin," Farrell. But hardly are the two airborne when the coils of Middle Eastern intrigue begin to unwinds. Mrs. Pollifax's seatmate is not the affable Arab businessman he seems and the little carved plaque he secretly stashes in her carry-on bag is not a mere souvenir. It is not imagination that persuades Mrs. P. that wherever they go she and Farrell are followed, even to the old castle where Farrell is to meet the mysteriously elusive Ibrahim. To elude their pursuers in such a politically volatile country isn't easy. But Mrs. P. takes her challenges straight up-and this one may be our genteel heroine's stiffest yet.

Responding to Jean Dalrymple's inquiry as to whether he'd have an interest in acquiring a sculpture by Picasso for himself or to donate to a museum, Nathan Cummings writes "Dear Jean, In reply to your note of December 1, regarding Picasso's 'Tete de Femme,' which Claude Picasso would like to sell, please ask Mrs. Gary to send me a photograph, indicating size, and advising of the price, too." Mrs. Gary was the art consultant Dorothy Hale Gary who is handling the work for Claude Picasso. Cummings goes on to elaborate "I don't know what I can do, if anything, but let me see what we're talking about." Signed "Nate". Folded for mailing, else fine. Together with the retained copy of Jean Dalrymple's letter of December 1st. Born Komiensky, the Jewish Canadian-American businessman, investor and philanthropist Nathan Cummings (1896-1985) was the founder of Consolidated Foods, later to be named Sara Lee Corporation. Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, he and his family moved to Waltham, Massachusetts in 1905. Nathan studied in a dry goods economist training school in New York City. He rejoined his family, who had moved back to Montreal, and sold shoes from the age of 15, subsequently working as a traveling salesman for a shoe manufacturer. He set up his own shoe factory, which unfortunately floundered during the depression. Undeterred he invested in the Canadian biscuit and candy company McCormicks, a successful business which he sold to Weston. He later worked for and acquired the coffee, tea & sugar chain C.D. Kenny Company and expanded his holdings creating a business empire which eventually became Consolidated Foods Corporation which was subsequently renamed the Sara Lee Corporation. He had little interest in art until, as he said, "An advertising man convinced me that I should have a painting made of the view from my window." Cummings liked it so much he had another painting done of the view at night and his interest in collecting was born. Cummings went on to collect French Impressionist paintings, modern sculpture, ancient Peruvian ceramics, and the works of Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Greoges Braque, among others. He became a major philanthropist donating to hospitals, universities, arts organizations. He endowed the Nathan Cummings Arts Center at Stanford University and the Joanne and Nathen Cummings Art Center at Connecticut College in New London. The recipient, Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jos Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
