English Anglican cleric, railway enthusiast, and children's author (1911-1997) remembered as the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine. ALS signed “W. Awdrey,” one page, 8 x 10, personal railway letterhead, August 24, 1985. Letter concerning arrangements for an appearance in Bath, in part: "Autographing: It will be best to arrange definite times and places for this. As you have encouraged a variety of activities for us it will be as well to emphasize that autographing will be done only at these times and not when they happen to see me and think of it. That would hold me up and (a) prevent events going according to plan and (b) hinder our proper round…I had better add re 'walk-around' that I am not particularly mobile following an accident, nor is Mrs. Awdry. We get about, but at our own pace!" Also includes a 13.75 x 9.75 cardstock print of Gordon the Big Engine exiting a tunnel, signed in the lower right corner in ballpoint, "W. Awdry." In fine condition.
