ALS signed “Kath,” two pages, lightly-lined, 8 x 12.5, Atienza, Guadalajara, Spain, September 7, [1970]. Letter to a friend. In part: “Here we are—about 2.5 hrs. north east of Madrid—in a tiny town—high—4000 ft—it is 7 am, dawn is breaking over this curious dried up valley—sheep bells roll their curious sound—the air is unpolluted by oil…later the sun will beat literally beat down—so hot—& the wind will beg to blow & the dust will fly…It is a high grey rock that this village is built upon—& at the top—in the early days there was a castle…This is supposed to be what is left of Troy—I—Hecuba—say only smoke left where was Troy—& that’s it—smoke dust sun.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds and water droplets affecting a couple words on the first page. At the time, Hepburn was shooting The Trojan Women, in which she played Hecuba, queen of the Trojans. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
