Humorous and insightful collection of six George Harrison-related items: ALS signed, “Love from, George XXX,” one page, 5 x 7, Royal Station Hotel, York letterhead, no date. Harrison responds to a particularly adorable letter from a fan, Jenny Rose, in full: “I think it easier if I return your questions with my answers written on them, to save writing it out again. If you really want to marry me then send a photograph, as I can’t very well say yes without ever seeing you…can I? I will see what can be arranged, but I think you had better ask your parents first!”; the letter to which Harrison was responding, two pages, complete with his responses to a long list of fan questions, including, “Does Ringo like macoroni [sic] in his socks,” “How high are the heels you wear on your shoes,” and “How can I fit a life size picture of you on my wall in a 5 inch by 12 inch gap?”; three ALSs from Harrison’s mother, Louise Harrison, to the same fan, dated between March and April of 1964; and a glossy 3.5 x 5.5 publicity photo of Harrison, signed on his behalf in green ballpoint by his mother, “George Harrison, XXX.” In very good condition, with a central horizontal and vertical fold, heavy border of mounting remnants, mildly affecting the signature, and scattered light spotting to George’s letter, and similar attributes to the remaining items. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope to the fan letter, and a letter of provenance from Rose. Harrison’s response to Jenny Rose dates to November 27, 1963, the day the Beatles played a concert at the Rialto Theatre in York.
