Six ALSs, one in pencil, three signed “Edward” and three signed with his initials, five on government postcards and one on personal letterhead, dated between 1950 and 1951. All are addressed to Chappie Packard of The Camera Shop in Berkeley, California. One, in part: “12 pretty kittens, healthy & polite are now ready for distribution. Come early & avoid the rush!” Another, in part: “If you want to wait for a Wildcat Hill kitten it may take a couple of months. I think there are some in the making now!” A third refers to his Parkinson’s, in part: “I don’t go out to dine any more (maybe someday if I shake off my ‘jitters’).” In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope for the letter on personal letterhead, filled out in Weston’s hand, as well as a postcard from Brett Weston, his son and a fellow photographer. Weston was known for his love of cats, and these letters offer a heartwarming peek into this hobby. RR Auction COA.
