Description:
The Beatles in Australia - 1964 30 July 1964 letter 'to all Members of Staff' on Southern cross Hotel, Melbourne letterhead from John C. Carrodus, General Manager: I have been asked by a member of staff for pieces of (bed) sheet that the Beatles slept in whilst at the Hotel. No doubt they require these for their children or others who are Beatles fans. So that nobody will be disappointed, I am now enclosing a couple of pieces for you to either give away or throw away. May I also take this opportunity of thanking everybody for their co-operation and assistance over the very busy time we had during the visit of this outstanding group.' Stapled to the top left corner of the letter are two pieces of bed linen; the one on the front stamped 'With the Compliments of the Southern cross Hotel. Ringo Slept Here' (approx. 50 x 75 mm); the piece affixed behind the letter stamped 'With the Compliments of the Southern cross Hotel. John Slept Here.' (approx. 110 x 55 cm).
