ALS signed “Jerry,” on both sides of a 4.5 x 7 open notecard, October 1, 1954. Letter to To Terry (Frances Thierolf Glassmoyer). Salinger had met Frances (Terry) Thierolf when he attended Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, for one semester, September-December, 1938. She later married fellow Ursinus grad Thomas P. Glassmoyer. In full: “So nice, as always, to hear from you. You invariably sound happy and placed–(I wonder if, say, Mary Helen Stoudt can say the same.) Anyway, I’m glad about it, and thanks for the literary remarks. I bought a house last year literally on the side of a mountain and have been here pretty much ever since, working, reading, even doing a little farming, by God. No complaints. Hello to Tom and the children. Are the latter Ursinus-bound? A happy year to all Glassmoyers.” In fine condition, with a couple small corner tip creases. Sudden celebrity following the publication of The Catcher in the Rye on July 16, 1951, resulted in J. D. Salinger buying 90 acres of hillside property and a cottage in Cornish, New Hampshire, in 1953 and officially moving there on January 1, 1954.
