Humourist, actress and radio comedienne, originator of the Buggins Family. All three letters are 8vo, and in good condition, but all have damage to one corner caused by rusting paperclip. In the first letter she thanks her correspondent for 'the little books [...] I am a great lover of poetry, and like learning verse by heart. I used to do it in the early days of war to keep myself from worrying too much'. She has visited Stationers' Hall. Letter 2 is a note declining an invitation to a party. In letter 3 she explains that she is 'not allowed to do anything that is not essential - I have to do my work and spend the rest of my time in bed. My heart has gone wrong through overworking'. She ends by passing on Gladys Young's address. 3 items,
