Thynne (née Parsons) (1917-2003), Marchioness of Bath VI, was the daughter of Alan
Parsons and Viola Tree. She divorced her first husband, David Tennant, the aristocrat and
socialite known for founding London's Gargoyle Club, in 1953 and subsequently married
Henry Frederick Thynne, thus becoming Lady Bath. Thynne opened his home to the
public in 1949, rendering him the first member of the British peerage to take advantage of the
commercial potential of his title and property. Also, in 1966, Lord and Lady Bath converted
25 acres of Longleat Park into a wild animal reserve touted as the UK's first safari park. Paper
to which letter is affixed contains a typed caption, ink notes, and binding holes along
right-hand side. Otherwise, fine condition.
