Description

ALS signed “Agatha Christie Mallowan,” one page both sides, 5.5 x 7, Winterbrook House, Wallingford letterhead, May 27, no year. Letter to Mr. Riline, in full: “I’m afraid I can’t supply the items you mention in your letter—I am not an author who has ever kept manuscripts—when my books are published, I destroy all such things—they only litter a house. I am already making contributions to so many causes. Old Peoples Homes—The Blind—Cripples—and a new project of homes for disabled children—that I cannot take on any further commitments. Also I cannot keep feeling that transplanting children—refugees, deprived children of very poor parents to a foreign country & surroundings is sometimes very upsetting and disturbing to them—I have had personal knowledge of this and it was a quite a shock—I do however offer you my best wishes in your work.” In fine condition.
