DENYING ANTI-SEMITISM CHRISTIE, AGATHA. Typed Letter Signed, "Agatha Mallowan," to John Ewing, denying that her novels are anti-Semitic. 1 page, folded blue air mail stationery; usual folds. Berkshire, 31 January 1973
- Notes: "... I am not anti-Semitic and have had many Jewish friends during my life. You might just as well say that you are astonished to find that about 75% of the villains in my books seem to belong to the Christian religion... As for the words you mention, dagos was a word at one time used in slang mainly for Italians, also wops, and wogs... I think you[r] suggestions are quite ridiculous. Are all Californians like you?..."
