Description

"“The Mousetrap is really doing remarkably, and I never can get used to the fact”"

TLS signed “Agatha Mallowan,” one page, 5.5 x 7, personal letterhead, December 6, 1968. Letter to a gentleman. In part: “Thank you so much for the copies of the Historical Sketch of Abney Hall, which I am very glad to possess. It is nice to think that so much interest is taken in Abney…The Mousetrap is really doing remarkably, and I never can get used to the fact.” In fine condition, with various office stamps and notations, and two punch holes to left edge. The Mousetrap, a murder mystery play, holds the record for longest initial run of any play in history—there have been over 25,000 performances, beginning in 1952 and continuing through to today.
