Popular singer and songwriter who died in an auto accident in 1981. TLS, one page, 8 x 11, personal letterhead, March 27, 1978. Letter of thanks to a fellow musician declining an offer of his material. In part, “I’m sorry that I can’t use any of your material since I’m in this business for what I write and have to say, not because of my golden voice or virtuoso guitar playing. Keep writing. As anyone who is struggling in the same field I respect your attempts and successes and appreciate your regard.” In fine condition. R&R COA.
