Autograph picture postcard signed to Eileen Cond,
saying I am sure my sister, the writer Eleanor Farjeon, 1881-1965, will be glad to autograph your books and giving her address in Hampstead, My own 'book news' is that 'Rona Runs Away' has sold 20,000 in its first month and my next for Collins is their selection for March... This sounds horribly conceited - and I think it is!, with on verso a coloured view of Ovingdean Steps near Brighton, Ditchling, Sussex, 5th January
