ALS signed “Ava,” two pages, 8 x 10, no date, but an office stamp dated January 15, 1981, appears on the letter. Letter to Jess Morgan. In part: “By God my hand is almost steady for the first time in weeks. I woke up this morning & thought perhaps life is worth living. I’ve still got a long way to go but at least to see a little progress is gratifying…We had a nice Birthday party but the New Year started with a lousy virus that landed me in bed where I have been ever since.” Along the edge of the first page, Gardner adds a postcript in green ink, signed “Ava.” In fine condition, with scattered creases and wrinkles, punch holes to top edges, and office stamps to both pages.
