TLS signed “Yours sincerely, Richard Adams,” one page, 7 x 9, Benwell's, 26 Church Street letterhead, March 27, 1986. Letter to Mr. Brownlow, in part: “I think I can answer your question simply enough. I did not want to be a writer during my days as a civil servant; and I wrote ‘Watership Down’ simply at the behest of my two daughters, then aged nine and seven, who asked me to write down for them the story which I had told them orally. Having taken the trouble to write it, I thought I would like it to be published, so I duly found a publisher. An author who treats his fans’ letters with disdain doesn’t deserve to have any.” Adams adds the salutation and the postscript in his own hand, the latter of which reads: “I hope you have made a full recovery. All good wishes for Easter.” In fine condition.
