A personal autograph letter by John Lennon signed, ''Lots of love John Lennon x'', responding to a fan's inquiry about transcendental meditation. Lennon writes in an encouraging and unassuming manner, clearly happy to connect with a stranger about a subject he felt passionate about. Undated, though circa late 1967, letter reads in full, ''Dear Jean, Thank you for your letter. It makes complete sense to me - you are searching for 'something' (truth) the same as everyone else - whether they know it or not. We have been lucky in meeting Maharishi - but his method is simple enough to be taught by the teachers he has taught. We are continuing our 'lessons' with these English teachers and I suggest you get in touch with them and find for yourself a nice bit of inner peace. The address is over-leaf. S.R.M. Foundation of Gt. Britain / 20 Grosvenor Place / London, S.W.I. / England / Lots of love, John Lennon x. Try it - it really works and it's easy.'' Letter also includes John's partial address at top (''Kenwood, etc.'') Double-sided letter on blue writing paper measures 5.5'' x 7''. Accompanied by (1) original stamped addressed envelope postmarked Weybridge 6 September 1967; (2) letter from ''Jean,'' explaining that as a Beatles fan she wrote to John Lennon asking about transcendental meditation, having gotten his address from her employer, a florist who had a contract with Brian Epstein's offices. She included a stamped addressed envelope, as was the way, in the hope it would encourage Lennon to reply. A lovely handwritten letter by Lennon displaying his accessibility and personal values of self discovery. In near fine condition with still bold writing.
