Description From Source	0.03 m. (1 folder) Manuscript letter comprising two pages. Written prior to 22 October 1939 in London, the letter from Colonel W. de Basil to Sono Osato and Roman Jasinsky (“Jasha”) advises of arrangements for the Australian tour of the Ballets Russes for 30 weeks. De Basil came to Australia to oversee the visit by the Original Ballet Russe on a tour that began in 1939 and continued into 1940. Two other tours by the Russian Ballet companies, those by the Monte Carlo Russian Ballet in 1936-1937, and the Covent Garden Russian Ballet, 1938-1939, were directly related to his entrepreneurial activities although de Basil did not tour to Australia with these companies.
