TLS, one page, 5.75 x 8.25, personal letterhead, October 16, 1987. Letter to "Mr. Hedborg," in part: "I am glad you like the Mary Poppins books. But all my manuscripts, including that of the new book for which I am about to sign a contract, are with an agent to be disposed of…So I will write part f the penultimate paragraph of Mary Poppins Opens the Door." Below, she handwrites a lengthy quote: "'The bright shape speeding through the air above them would forever keep its secret. But in the summer days to come and the long nights of winter, they would remember Mary Poppins & think of all she had told them. The rain & the sun would remind them of her, & the birds & the beasts & the changing seasons. Mary Poppins herself had flown away, but the gifts she had brought would remain for always. 'We'll never forget you, Mary Poppins!' they breathed, looking up at the sky. Her bright shape paused in its flight for a moment & gave an answering wave. The darkness folded its wing about her and hid her from their eyes.'" In fine condition.
