POTTER, Beatrix. CHRISTMAS CARD INSCRIBED AND SIGNED. A small (3-1/2" x 
4-3/4") Christmas card in the form of a string-tied chapbook of stiff 
covers with a color illustration on the front (not by Potter) and two 
leaves inside with printing on the recto of one leaf containing 
Christmas Greetings with a quote by Leith Gordon. Beneath that in 
Beatrix Potter's hand SIGNED by her with her married name is the 
following: "W & Beatrix Heelis/It is pleasant to think of friends/in a 
sad time - we are well, but/old & tired-." Though the name of the 
recipient is not written by Potter, this was part of a lot of three 
cards from the estate of Bertha Mahony Miller, founder of HORN BOOK 
MAGAZINE and an important figure in the fight for the idea that 
children's books should be taken more seriously. She was also a close 
friend of Beatrix Potter and a champion of her books. Near Fine.
