Noel Coward - a handwritten letter in ink dated 21/4/66 on The Queen's Theatre letterhead. It was sent in reply to Ian Pepper, who wrote to personages of the day when he was 15, asking what he should do with his life. (He judged them by their replies - or lack of them). Apparently, he'd been told by John Lennon to Join the Armed Forces, so he wrote to Noel Cowerd asking him what he thought of the idea...together with a House of Commons press photograph of Margaret Thatcher and a letter from the BBC from Mr Charles Chilton, a script writer and story line writer. The letter to Malcolm Salt relates to a radio play called 'Journey into Space', which Charles Chilton wrote, which was broadcast in the 1950's, signed by various cast members including Andrew Faulks. Alfie Bass, Guy Kinsley Pointer etc,
