Deborah Mitford (16) to Unity Mitford (22 and friends with Hitler) [1936]

Dear Bird

Would you send me a letter with a German stamp & an Olympic Games stamp on it like you sent to Muv because Sex Hay longs for one. DON'T FORGET.
I've started a new National Movement & its slogan is FOOD & DIRT. That's what we stand for. There are 3 members. It started with Peter Ramsbotham & me & then Sex joined.
It's called Nourishilism.
It's a very swell movement.
Goodness the weather.
Jaky [the dachshund] sends his love.
Isn't it wicked about the bombing of the Alhambra. If only all the Spaniards could be converted to Nourishilism it would never have happened. THE BRUTES.
Well DON'T FORGET about the Olympic stamp.
Hail Food!
Hail Dirt!
Hail our leader Ramsbotham!

Yours in National Nourishilism, Dawly
