The actor further writes 'Why they were so harsh with what we all felt was an excellent effort on Milne's part I shall never know. I still sometimes give myself a shake to see if I am awake'. In concluding Heggie expresses his hope that his friend is in good health and that he shall 'see your sweet self in the Theatre soon again'. Autographs of Heggie in any form are extremely rare and desirable. About EX A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English Author and Playwright.
