I had the loveliest dream about someone I love who died & we sat on a sofa & chatted and caught up about life. It wasn’t like they weren’t here anymore, almost like they’d just been in another room. I truly believe their spirit is still with me & it’s nice to check in from time to time 🩶

Agatha Christie died on 12 January 1976 - 50 years ago today. Did you know our Agatha Christie business papers comprise thousands of letters, incl. from the novelist herself? 📷 EUL UA/P/5i: Christie receiving an honorary degree from @exeter.ac.uk in 1961 #AgathaChristie #OnThisDay #OTD #Archives

Black and white photograph showing the Chancellor of the University of Exeter (centre) - Mary Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire - with two honorary graduates on either side of her. A small boy also stands to her left. The honorary graduates - Agatha Christie (far left), Theodor Heuss, William Hodge and Bernard Leach - are wearing velvet bonnets.

Information box containing a cropped image of a letter signed by Agatha Christie on the right hand side, and on the left hand side, the following text: "This collection is from the offices of Hughes Massie and Co. Ltd. relating to Agatha Christie's literary estate. Throughout her career her agent was Edmund Cork, and these files were created by him to reflect his dealings with publishers, film-makers and other professional persons with an interest in the Christie estate, including Agatha Christie herself, and her husband, Sir Max Mallowan. Each file of correspondence relates to a particular year, and may include correspondence between Agatha Christie and Edmund Cork, correspondence between Cork and American literary agent, Harold Ober, and other interested parties. There are between 5,000-6,000 letters in the collection. Further information is available on the archive catalogue."
