POLLARD
(Alfred Oliver, 1893-1960, Novelist, Captain)
Long Typed Letter Signed to Miss J. Cond,
thanking her for her letter "about my 'Cipher Five' ... I am very glad to be able to relieve you of your anxiety ... In flying ... unless the structure is also damaged, it is nearly always possible to make a 'forced landing'. I intended to infer that Lemoine landed safely ... 'Cursing and weeping, Lemoine put his machine into a glide' ... With regard to Wing Commander Leach, I must definitely plead guilty. My publishers pointed out to me that I had not made it sufficiently clear that he had escaped", he quotes the relevant passages, "your letter proves that they were right and I was wrong ... You may like to know he appears again in my latest book ... 'The Death Flight'", he prophesies that she will be "even more attracted to one of three young pilots - Gerry Lestrange, Dick Barton, and Ronald Morden" in a forthcoming story which "is a secret between you and me", due out next February, "It is the greatest fun thinking out what will happen to them in the meantime", with a promotion photograph of Pollard on card 2¾" x 2", 2 sides 8vo., 'Hainault', Sweetcroft Lane, Hillingdon, Middlesex, 15th October
