Identifier: 2005.002.1.1.10.028
Scope and Contents "Dear Mrs. Briggs, Forgive me for being such a long time in answering your letter, but I find writing terribly difficult now - not much that my hand is nearly paralysed (as this terrible writing shows), but my willpower seems to be going the same way! (All this is due to my serious afflication called "Parkinson's Disease" - in my case plus other ailments which I won't bother you with). I'm delighted to hear about your work on E.

"Dear Mrs. Briggs, I was most interested to have your letter. Michael has asked me to tell you that there is no connection with the D.N.B.

This is in the possession of my cousin Christine Powell - lucky her! - and she is the geneaologist of the family who has an immense amount of information about E. Nesbit..."
