Blyton (Enid, 1897-1968). Autograph letter signed, 'Enid Blyton', Green Hedges letterhead, 25 April 1961, to Mrs Baker, thanking her for her nice newsletter again, 'how you find time for such long ones I do not know! What a busy life you lead!', encllosing requested autographs [no longer present] and querying whether one of the children's names is Marlyn or should be Marilyn, 'I know how a mis-spelt name or an autograph label spoils it for a child! ("You see, I don't feel as if it's for me" said a child to me once, very mournfully. "You spelt my name Marjorie instead of Margery, Miss Blyton"!)' telling that they are on a golfing holiday and that 'my husband (lucky man!) owns the course here, and it is a really beautiful one, overlooking enormous Poole Harbour... He also owns a farm not far away (the "Finniston Farm of the F.F. book of that name!) so we come down here quite a bit', noting that the hotel they are staying in is run for children and parents so there is plenty of material around for future books, is glad that Mrs Baker has written a book but could not guarantee it would be published, telling that she has written a new Mystery book, the 15th of the series, letterhead address struck through and Knoll House, Studland Bay, Dorset written by Blyton beneath, small blank upper left corner tears with loss to both leaves, not affecting letterhead or text, 4pp., 8vo (Qty: 1)
