[ Phyllis Hartnoll, theatre historian and poet. ] Four Typed Letters Signed to the theatrical bookseller Barry Duncan, with other material relating to the purchase of items from him.

Nine items. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper. Heavily annotated by Duncan. The letters (each 1p. long, two in 4to and two in 8vo) concern her orders and wants'. On 23 April 1945 she writes: 'I find on looking through the Play Pictorial bound volumes that No. 28 His Highness My Husband is missing. It is not a very important one, in fact I don't remember hearing of the play before, but if you happen to have a copy among your single numbers, I should be glad to have it, in order to complete the volume. If you have not got it, perhaps you would keep a look out for it, and send it to me when it turns up.' Also present are an Autograph Note Signed, an Autograph Card Signed, a Typed Card Signed, as well as two carbons of letters from Duncan, one an invoice and the other a letter apologising for a 'missing number'.
