Lewis instructs a friend upon his trip to New Orleans, “Be prepared with the vintage Coca-Cola”

ALS signed “S. L.,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, September 25. Lewis writes to Father Edward J. Murphy, in full: “It looks as tho [sic] Lewis Browne (read his ‘This Believing World’) & I will have several days in New Orleans, between Univ. of La. & Univ. of Iowa. Be prepared with the vintage Coca-Cola. I can’t give exact dates, & our agent might fill in another date, but otherwise, we’ll be in N. O. about Nov. 9th to 13th. Marcella is really writing a story! More of that when I see you. I leave here Oct. 4th–300 C. P. W. will be my only address.” In very good condition, with uniform toning with a few darker areas along the edges, show-through from writing on the reverse, as well as mounting remnants, and haloing to the text. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
