Folded and heavily creased a few nicks unrelated note in black biro to reverse. Good- A brief but significant 1979 typed letter in which Lessing turns down Mike Shaw of Curtis Brown the literary agency which first represented her: "Well I can only say – and mean most sincerely – that I am very sorry – but I have decided not to". After a line about the handling of her foreign rights she closes by noting that she has "started volume three" and once it "is well and truly under weigh" she will invite him for lunch. The "volume three" is likely The Sirian Experiments the third volume of her five book sci-fi series Canopus in Argos: Archives which was published the following year in 1980. The British agent Jonathan Clowes represented Lessing for most of her writing career. unknown
