Description

Rare and insightful sentiments from the author of To Kill a Mockingbird: “I’m probably no better than you, but I’m certainly your equal”

Uncommon ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, June 7, 2006. In a letter to an admirer, Lee writes, in full: “I don’t have a picture of myself, so please accept these four lines: As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don’t think you are the most important being on earth, rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, ‘I’m probably no better than you, but I’m certainly your equal.’” In fine condition, with light creasing and marks towards the top half of the letter. Lee bestows timeless wisdom in place of a photograph, a fitting and unique substitute from the reclusive story teller. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
