TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, January 11, 1963. Letter to a woman in New York. In full: “Thank you ever 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 some time 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 some scattered light creases and wrinkles, as well as a bit of mild toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Just five days before, the winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize for Literature was seen engaging Sandburg in intense conversation at the Waldorf Astoria during the latter’s 85th birthday celebration.
