TLS signed “Agatha Mallowan,” one page, 5.5 x 7, Winterbrook House letterhead, March 16, 1972. Letter to "Patrick," in part: "Thank you for your letter and enclosure. What incredible things people seem to want to do! I suppose Miss Anita Chuan ought really be advised to apply for a job with the I.R.A., specially recommended by Bernadette Devlin, perhaps. I return you the exhibit since it is quite a souvenir to keep.
I have been rather lazy with my home work of late because my fractured hip still plays me up a bit now and then and encourages me to spend a lot of time enjoying, what I believe the Chinese have a saying called,—'The Pleasure of Idleness'—a very charming picture of an old man in a lovely tree, doing cats-cradle. Love to you both I hope Martha is making delicious designs in shells." In fine condition, with a small stain touching the first name of the signature.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
