Description

A “Jim Dandy” Holly on the road: “We are having a big time but the driving is pretty tiresome. A little homesick in a way, too”

ALS in pencil signed “Buddy,” one page on the correspondence side of a 5.5 x 3.25 government postcard, no date [postmarked Birmingham, Alabama, January 12, 1957]. Holly writes home to “Dear Mother and Dad.” In full: “Just a line to let you know we are all fine and dandy (Jim dandy). I won’t write much as I will call you tonite, probably. We are having a big time but the driving is pretty tiresome. A little homesick in a way, too. Anyhow we will end up in Memphis on the 23rd. Probably get home the 24 (25 at the latest).” A few light postal ink traces to text and tiny adhesive spot to address side, otherwise fine, bright, crisp condition. LOA Roger Epperson/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
