Typed Letter Signed to Michael DE-LA-NOY
(1934-2002, Journalist and Author) saying that she got his letter when she was frantically busy and have for some time been out of the country. It was indeed most kind of you to express your appreciation of my Desert Island Disc Broadcast and I was most interested to learn you have written the Life of Elgar. I am indeed sorry I never had the honour and privilege of meeting Sir Edward Elgar, the composer I admired so greatly. I do hope your 'Life of Elgar' has been accepted by the publishers and that it will reap great success. I greatly appreciate and thank you for all your good wishes for my birthday which truly was a fantastic event in every sense of the word. My birthday mail was of mammoth proportions..., 1 side 8vo., 26 Palace Court headed paper, 7th June

Background
De-la-Noy wrote more than 20 books, the most successful being The Queen Behind the Throne. He was also noted for being fired in 1970 as press secretary to Archbishop of Canterbury Michael Ramsey after writing an article in support of a bisexual and transvestite colonel, which was seen as too liberal for the Church of England.
