TLS, one page, 8.25 x 11.5, personal letterhead, February 12, 2007. Martin writes to Jordan John Earnshaw in Sheffield. In part: “I am so sorry to have taken all this time to reply to your letter … requesting biographical information, photographs, signed pieces, etc. which you hoped might be ‘lying around’ that would become useful to you for your school project…. In any event I would not have been able to help you except to send you the enclosed biographical information and signed photograph. I also have to tell you that all my treasured memorabilia from my career has long ago been auctioned for charity and anything new that I have, also goes to raise funds for my various charities, mostly notably for the Sir George Martin Music Foundation…. I have been very busy for the past eighteen months working with my son Giles on a new show for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas using Beatle tracks, which has also resulted in a new CD called ‘Love’ released before Christmas….” Accompanied by an unsigned copy of the biography Martin mentions in the letter.
