Superb original ink sketch of Uncle Fester accomplished by Addams on an off-white 7 x 10.25 sheet of New Yorker letterhead, boldly signed and inscribed, "To the Brownes, best wishes from the East, Chas Addams, New York 1961." Addams incorporates an Arizona centennial sticker into the sketch, making it appear as though Uncle Fester is feeding cyanide to a cactus wren. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, and toning to the edges. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Addams's hand and incorporating his surname in the return address area. A typed collector's card notes: "We had sent him this Arizona centennial sticker which he used in this sketch." A wonderful, large portrayal of a classic 'Addams Family' member.
