TLS signed “Stan,” one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, October 29, 1958. Letter to an admirer. In part: “I sure got a big kick about the kids signing their names in blood to become members of the L&H club, wonder what on earth gave them this idea—I understand this is a Russian custom, especially among the Tartars (Males) a couple of guys on a drinking spree will become great friends & to prove it to each other, they cut each others wrist with a dagger & both suck the blood, this they consider, makes them life long blood Brothers. I wonder what happens when they sober up & take a real good look at one another—they probably cut their throats!!” In fine condition, with intersecting folds and a bit of brushing to ink below the signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
