Description

Cline submits a sloppy story to her fan club president

Country music star who achieved her first success with the 1957 release of Walkin’ After Midnight. Cline signed with the Decca label in 1959 and became a permanent member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1960. The following year, Cline recorded the hit single I Fall to Pieces, followed by the Willie Nelson composition Crazy and She’s Got You, which all enjoyed similar crossover success. On March 5, 1963, Cline’s budding career was tragically cut short when she was killed in a plane crash while returning to Nashville from Kansas City; she was 30 years old. ALS signed “Pat,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 8.5, personal letterhead, November 19, 1956. In full: “I have just tried to write you up a story to put in the journal. I hope you can make some sense out of it and get a story out of it. There are a lot of mistakes, so see what you can do with it. Use the pictures I sent you and I think we will have a fine journal this time. By the way Treva, can you find a place to make Xmas cards with my picture on them? About 50 is all I need to send to the D. J.’s. If you need any more information, write and let me know.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with a vertical fold not affecting the signature. COA Roger Epperson/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
