Three TLSs, three pages, 8 x 10, dated from May 29, 1966, to June 20, 1966. Letters from Menuhin to Dr. Klaus Lemmer in Berlin, director of publisher Rembrandt-Verlag. The first, in part: “I was amazed that you could have the temerity after learning of my extreme displeasure…to send me two further copies of a book of which I altogether disapprove…it misrepresents my life both historically and musically…it is a discourteous publication in every way, and…I shall take every measure to have it withdrawn.” The second, in part: “It is hardly sufficient evidence to draw on various sources without checking their veracity or their completeness…you could not in this case expect the subject to approve a text as wholly misleading as yours.” In the third, Menuhin demands a more thorough response. Central vertical and horizontal folds (some passing through signatures), toning, and filing holes to left edge, otherwise overall fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
