Christie (Agatha)

Typed letter signed ('Agatha Christie') to Frederick Bason, reading "I have only now received your most kind letter. Very many thanks for it. I have pleasure in enclosing an autographed copy of 'The Murder on the Links' which you say you like the best of my novels. Please accept it as a gift. I hope to have another play on sometime but plays are very uncertain things. Thank you for all you say about my books. It is always nice to know that one's work is appreciated", one page, minor signs of handling, 4to, Ashfield, Torquay, 12 January 1929; with an original souvenir programme for the first performance of 'Alibi', based on Christie's novel 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd', original wrappers, light handling wear, 8vo, 1928.
