Two items: 1975 TLS, two pages, discussing how cluster headaches “ended my filming career” and recommending a doctor; and a 1980 TLS to the same recipient, discussing their shared psychiatrist and noting that “we are all so fearfully and wonderfully made that none of us can know exactly why we were given an exciting imagination in the first place.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelopes. A few wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
