Harper Lee autograph letter twice-signed, dated 2 February 2000, on famed author's personal stationery. Addressed to longtime fan and acquaintance Don Salter. Written in black ink, letter reads in part: ''…I am three years behind in thanking you for your wonderful Christmas presents…I think you might find it in your heart to forgive me when you learn that for the last 3 seasons the Lee family have undergone crises of epic proportions. They began when my 'middle' sister was found at home by her home-coming son near death from emphysema + acute bronchitis. Before his holiday was over he suffered a coronary occlusion and was hospitalized…Two Christmases ago found my sister Alice in a horrendous situation that would take pages to describe. Suffice to say that it went on for months and has left her totally without any balance…This past Christmas was my time: it was a nightmare that nearly did me in…one of the merchants there [eBay] let the world know that it could have a signed book for list price. The world responded with orders totaling between 9 + 10 thousand copies…I swore I'd never sign another book again…'' Signed ''Nelle Harper Lee''. Card, measuring 6.25'' x 4.5'', with gilt ''NHL'' monogram at top, has densely written text on front and back. Includes original envelope, signed ''Lee'' atop the return address. Near fine.
