TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, January 11, 1963. Letter to photographer Editta Sherman, in part: "Thank you so much for your letter of January 10th and for the wonderful study of Carl Sandburg. I truly think you did a remarkable job capturing the 'perpetual youth' and 'sprite-like' quality that so characterizes Carl. As for me—well—'that's a horse of a different color'—if you'll pardon the expression! For one thing, I am now settling down to work and find that I shall be extremely pressed for time for quite a long while to come. For another, I have had so many photos taken of me these past several weeks, my skin feels quite burned and parched because of the innumerable flash bulbs that have been popping off right under my very nose, you might say." In fine condition, with light creasing to two corners. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
