Jessica Mitford

Jessica Mitford is the next-to-the-last youngest of Lord and Lady Redesdale's six legendary daughters - ranging from the eldest, the late novelist Nancy Mitford, to the youngest, the present-day Duchess of Devonshire. She came to America in 1939, and lived in Oakland, California from the 1940s onward.
