Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Josephine PULLEIN-THOMPSON
(1924-2014, Writer best known for her Pony Books) apologising for his late reply and saying that he “was very touched indeed by your Committee’s invitation to be guest at the Christmas party, and would wish in so many ways to say yes - which is why I haven’t answered at once. But I’m afraid the evening would be a bit taxing, together with the other things that are happening about that time... it’s always difficult to sit when other people are standing. Tell the Committee how very much I appreciate the invitation. I wish you could all come down here for an afternoon tea party instead!...”, 2 sides 4to., The Toft, East Dean, Chichester, 20th July
