PEAKE
(Mervyn, 1911-1968, Writer, Artist, Poet and Illustrator)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed "Mervyn" to his old friend [Helene] Lanie Bruce "Lanie Darling"
starting "What kind of a so & so have you decided that I am by now! The worst kind I'm afraid. How lovely it would be to meet again. Is there an earthly chance. Do write again soon, darling. I remember our last meeting with so much excitement. I've tried 5 publishers with your stories, but they all think they are too slight. I rather agree in a way - although I know they are for toddlers (never used that word before! urggh!) If you could write something with a bit more body to it, or a bit fiercer, I think it would go down better. Nevertheless I'll go on trying & maybe you'll prove the publishers and me, wrong, I hope so. Of course I'll do drawings for you if I can get a publisher to take it. Darling sweet Lanie, I would like to be with you. Your adoring cousin ...", 2 sides 8vo.,Smarden, nr Ashford, Kent, 7th January
