TLS, one page on the reverse of a glossy 6 x 4.25 postcard of Hurricane Ridge, postmarked June 2, 1982. Letter to Gary Lorenz, in full: "Thank you for your letter. I wish I could answer all of your questions—I just do not have the time to do them justice. I have never really had heroes—the closest would be Alfred Stieglitz, the great photographer and arbiter of art. I will say, in regards to your first question, that I agree with your assessment of Mr. Watt!" Adams adds in his own hand at the conclusion, "Bad!!" In fine condition. The "Watt" that Adams refers to was Reagan's Secretary of the Interior James G. Watt, who was widely perceived as being hostile to environmentalism and national parks—the very places where Adams created his greatest works.
