Blyton (Enid, 1897-1968). Autograph letter signed, 'Enid Blyton', Grand Hotel, Swanage letterhead, 7 October 1959, to Mr Towers, saying that she is reluctant to attend an invitation to the opening of the N[ursery] Goods Association exhibition because for the last two years she has been forbidden to attend open exhibitions, fetes, etc., because of a heart problem in 1957, 'And yet if you wish me just to say a few formal words of opening, it seems stupid to refuse - it is not like making a long speech - The only thing I feel I might not be able to do is to make a protracted tour of the exhibition, having to examine carefully each exhibit and talk to the exhibitors - this I do find very tiring, and always avoid if I can. I am telling you all this quite frankly, as I would like to hear what you may have to say, before I discuss the matter with my husband (a doctor!) and see what he says! In any case I should have visited the exhibition incognito during the week. (I do hate being well-known!!)', telling him then of a Noddy pantomime that is to be in Liverpool that year as well as in London which may interfere with plans if she attends, slight toning to upper margin, 2pp., 4to (Qty: 1)
