Typed Letter Signed to Josephine PULLEIN-THOMPSON
(1924-2014, Writer best known for her Pony Books) thanking her for the “invitation to the NEW POETRY 5 party - which I’ll attend. Second i wonder if by any chance you could lay your hands on the dates of May Wedderburn Cannan - you did say that you might be able to find copies of some of her books for me to look at but the dates of birth and death would do. She appears, undated, in Philip Larkin’s Ox anthology of 20th Century Verse; and I told him that I might be able to find her dates for him...”, 1 side A4 57 Kenilworth Court, Lower Richmond Road, 1st October

FITZGERALD
(Penelope Mary, 1916-2000, Booker Prize Winning Novelist, Poet, Essayist and Biographer)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed 'Penelope' to Josephine PULLEIN-THOMPSON
(1924-2014, Writer best known for her Pony Books) thanking her for her book which she “took down to Theale this past weekend & left it with Tina & she almost wept, it brought back her pony-owning days so intensely, (but after all she might have one again - there’s a kind of stable at the back of the garden, not belonging to us, but just being used for hens & for fattening calves, & I daresay in time we could get hold of that). If you should have another copy to spare & would sign it for her, she’d love it... It’s hard to put in words the connection between the book, the child & the pony, or the imagined pony I suppose in so many cases. I’ve got the ticket for the PEN outing too & look forward to it. I wonder how much is still there at Knole? - there seemed to be some sort of arrangement by which the Sackville-Wests were allowed to withdraw pictures & items of silver-plated furniture &c, & sell them, so that blanks appeared on the walls & in the rooms, & things had to be hastily re-arranged - but there’s always plenty left I suppose. I’ve never seen the Woolfs house at Rodmell but always wanted to...”, 2 sides 4to., 76 Clifton Hill, London, 6th April

FRY
(Christopher, 1907-2005, Poet and Playwright)
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
