FARJEON (Joseph Jefferson, 1883-1955, Detective Novelist and Playwright)

Autograph picture postcard signed with initials to Eileen Cond, saying he is glad she enjoyed "my recent books, and hope you will like my latest, 'Green Mask' ... I had a letter from Collins today saying they are very keen on the autumn novel" except for the title " 'Castle of Ghosts'. I think they are wrong. Anyway, this new contract with me is twice as good as the last, so all's well", with on the verso a photo of South Down sheep grazing, Ditchling, Sussex, 28th June

Farjeon was an editor for Amalgamated Press, 1910-1920, and, besides his books, contributed to many journals, including 'Punch' as 'Smith Minor'.
