Letter to Boris Kochno, 1967-1972.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/774900044

Parmenia Migel Ekstrom writes (mostly from New York City) to Boris Kochno trying to help publish his book on Serge Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes. She also talks about creating an exhibition of his collection and of her attempts to create a Diaghilev foundation in Venice. The book, Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, was published in English in 1970. Kochno's collection, with that of Serge Lifar, was exhibited at Musée Galliéra in Paris in 1972. The Diaghilev foundation never materialised. Ekstrom also talks about contemporary dance people such as Marie Rambert, Tamara Karsavina, Carla Fracci, and Leonid Massine.
