Autograph picture postcard signed with initials to Eileen Cond,
saying he is Very glad to hear from you again, and of course I don't mind about Smith Minor's spelling! You may be right, though I find most people do like it (and they may be wrong!)... The book before my last was 'The Third Victim' - not my best, though it has done very well. So sorry this is all about me!... Good luck to your rabbits, with on verso a view of Cissbury from Salvington, Ditchling, Sussex, 25th July
