Mary Reed in the siege of Leningrad

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Anna,

First of all, if Mary Reid is featured in Berggolts's work, it's worth  
writing to Dr Katherine Hodgson who has published a book on Olga  
Berggolts. Katherine worked with various archives and interviewed  
Berggolts's sister. Her address is:"Hodgson, Katharine"  
<K.M.Hodgson at exeter.ac.uk>

A year ago Dr james Clapperton has defended an excellent thesis at the  
University of Edinburgh on the siege and its survivors. He had  
interviewed a lot of survivors. James is preparing a book on the  
sweige, too. Perhaps, he knows something about Mary Reed. His address  
is:
James Clapperton <jamesclapperton at hotmail.com>

In June 2008 I happened to  have a few conversations with Dr Mackay  
(Celtic Studies, University of Canterbury) regarding some archives in  
Glasgow (Glasgow University Library, I think) related to letters,  
books, drawings and  diaries that were sent by various women  during  
the seige to Glasgow from Leningrad. Margaret has mentioned an  
exhibition related to this archive that took  a few years ago. Dr  
Mackay's address is: Dr Margaret A Mackay <Margaret.A.Mackay at ed.ac.uk>

With best wishes,
Alexandra
