In the postscript of Carol Bedford's book Waiting for the Beatles she write a short paragraph about the last time she ever heard from George. Interestingly enough I found that correspondence to Carol up for auction in an old, outdated auction house listing online.
Now before I get 10,000 emails, let me say that I do not know Carol Bedford. I have never known Carol Bedford. I do not know where she lives or if she is still alive. It is amazing to me just how many people out there are looking for Carol. It is no wonder that so many of the Apple Scruffs like to remain anonymous. And then there are people like me who are always bugging them.
Anyhow this is what Carol wrote:
But I did hear from him again-- one last contact between us. In 1975, I listened to George's new album Extra Texture: Read all about it. The first track on side one was You, the song he had told me about at the Apple Christmas party in 1971. He had finally recorded it, four years after writing it. I wrote a cheerful, chatty note to George to thank him for recording it. The song would always bring back happy memories for me. By return post, I received George's letter. It was addressed to "Carol Bedford" which pleased me because I had signed "Carol from Texas"
