Two pieces of correspondence sent to a former employee of Hunt-Wesson foods named Bob Hanzen. An ANS, signed “John Lennon,” one page, 5.25 x 5.25, no date. Lennon writes, in full: “H. Food. Dear. Bob Hanson [sic] The address for the photo is Lennon 105 Bank ST N.Y. N.Y. 10014. Thank you have a good trip ole!” Second is a TLS, signed “John Lennon Yoko Ono,” all signed by Lennon, one page, 8 x 5.25, no date. Letter to Hanzen reads, in full (with spelling and grammar retained): “Dear Bob, yes! we do remember all of you! Thank you very much for sending the photo we framed it and it now hangs in the kitchen. all the best to all of you, hope spain was fun. Congratulations to your daughter; we send our best wishes for a happy future. Thanks again.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, postmarked July 30, 1973, addressed in Lennon’s hand to Hanzen, and signed in the return address area “Lennon/Ono, 105 bank St. N.Y.C. 10014.” Also included is a group photo of Hanzen and his travelling party posing at the Eastern Airlines ticket counter with Lennon and Ono. Uniform toning to both letters, intersecting folds to handwritten note, one through a single letter of signature, and some toning to envelope, otherwise fine condition. Hanzen obtained the items in 1973 after his sales team won a trip to Spain and by chance John and Yoko were on the same flight. Two great letters from Lennon, who was enjoying living in his Bank Street apartment, even though he and Yoko were under FBI surveillance as the government was attempting to deport Lennon to England.
