Collection of correspondence and notations from Bernstein, most in pencil, including several short notes, signed “L,” several lists of words, possibly for some type of game or puzzle, and a couple of small Christmas cards. One note reads, “Go, go all of you to Faery Land forlorn. I for one will stay at home and hear old Triton blow his wretched horn! Not so fast!!! Love, L.” Another note on Hotel Intercontinental Dusseldorf stationery reads, “Change mid-life (fifty)! Stretch ‘im out! Turn ‘im over! Then, insert if you dare!” Another note on the same letterhead headed at the top, “The Gauntlet (Mode D’Emploi),” reads, “Change, lunkhead! Spell ‘im out; turn ‘im over; then insert:—if you dare.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
