Australian novelist, actress, and journalist (1899–1996) best remembered for writing Mary Poppins. TLS, one page, 6 x 8, personal letterhead, October 26, 1967. Letter to Evelyn Byrne, in full: “I am happy for you to use my letter, but only in the original form in which it was written. If you care to do this, I am happy to give you permission.” Travers adds a postscript, “N. B. You could leave out the paragraph about my lawyer if his letter is too long!” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original letter of transmittal, a photocopy of the initial letter sent to Byrne, and the original mailing envelope, addressed in Travers’s hand. Byrne ran a program at New York City's Elizabeth Barrett Browning Junior High School where she asked major literary and artistic figures for recollections of what books inspired them; some responses were published in the 1971 book Attacks of Taste.
