Kelly writes these letters to her old acting coach Don Richardson, discussing the possibility of staging one of her uncle George Kelly's plays in Los Angeles, and reporting on the lives of her children. From September 1979: "Caroline and Philippe seem happy and she looks better than ever—so married life must agree. They have been around all summer. Caroline is great company and we always have so much to talk about & discuss. She has a wonderful sense of humour but I don't think Philippe has, unfortunately."
