Printed TLS, signed and annotated in ink by Clarke, one page, 8.25 x 11.75, February 1, 1994. Clarke sends a pre-printed form letter explaining why he no longer answers his mail personally. Suffering from post-polio syndrome since 1984, he goes on to explain that he needs sufficient rest, and that he recently had abdominal surgery. Clarke signs at the conclusion, and handwrites the greeting to Adam. He also adds at the bottom, “I’m afraid I’ll never be in the U. S. again—but look for my new series ACC’s Mysterious Universe on Discovery Channel in December.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
