J.D. Salinger autograph note signed ''Jerry'' inside a ''Season's Greetings'' note card. With original envelope postmarked New York, 23 December 1947. Addressed by Salinger to ''Mr. & Mrs. Glassmoyer / & Family / North Hills Avenue / Willow Grove, Pa.'' In full, ''Sent a card around to Glenside [their old address]. Excuse it. Wrote a story for Nancy, in this month's Cosmopolitan. Least I could do. Collaborated with Mrs. Sheeder. Yours, Jerry.'' The story to which Salinger refers is ''The Inverted Forest,'' published in the December 1947 issue of ''Cosmopolitan.'' One of his longer magazine stories (pages 73-109), called a novella by some, Salinger had worked on it from August to November. It was written for Nancy, Terry and Tom's infant daughter. A ''Rev. Sheeder'' is mentioned in one of Salinger's later letters to Terry. Card measures 5'' x 4'' as does envelope. Near fine condition.
