Description

“Investigation of this phenomenon proved to be of major Freudian significance and indicated a repressed impulse to play the harp nude at the Boston Philharmonic”

TLS, one page, 5 x 7, December 31, 1963. Letter to Leonard Lyons of the New York Post. In full: “Please forgive the crass bungling of your thank-you note as regards my failure to sign it. Investigation of this phenomenon proved to be of major Freudian significance and indicated a repressed impulse to play the harp nude at the Boston Philharmonic. Limited space prevents me from going into the associations involved but a transcript of my analysis can be obtained by writing to: Doctor, Box 802, Grand Central Station, New York. Should the doctor fail to reply, please understand that intense shyness plus an animal fear of death keep him confined to his luggage locker for long periods of time.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
