Two TLSs: one signed “Jim,” two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, Verney Farm letterhead, October 4, 1972. Letter regarding his autobiography. In part: “Don’t feel that you were being forward in making your suggestions. The job of doing the damned autobiography is so onerous, I find myself ducking putting anything down. I have the tape recorder set up with the microphone virtually under my nose, but I haven’t said a word at it all Summer. I certainly wouldn’t be doing it at all were it not for the threat of some irresponsible clown coming forward with a real phony. I told you in my last letter about the Regnery people going to press with a really fan magazine treatment. The lawyers are on it now and we are going to give them as much bother as we can, with a damage suit in the offing. The whole thing, in my book, is just a damn nuisance.” Also includes a one-page TLS, September 2, 1977, discussing old friends. In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
