Description

“Joanna testifies that she set up Chula for $700 cocaine bust with police in the closet”

ALS signed “Allen,” one page on the reverse of a political flier, 8.5 x 11, November 1. In a letter regarding a court case involving Timothy Leary, Ginsberg writes, in full: “Here’s yr [sic] check. I’m working on Leary thing—located him in LA—read his transcript testimony against lawyer Geo. Chula in L.A.—‘telling the truth’ he says. Joanna testifies that she set up Chula for $700 cocaine bust with police in the closet. Odd—I’ll phone (my head’s full of Leary).” In very good condition, with scattered surface creasing with a more pronounced central horizontal crease, and light soiling. Accompanied by original mailing envelope, postmarked November 1, 1974. RRAuction COA.
