ALS signed “Satchmo, Louis Armstrong,” one page on the reverse of an 8.5 x 11 'Lose Weight The 'Satchmo' Way' flyer (featuring his facsimile signature), September 12, 1970. Addressed from the International Hotel in Las Vegas, a handwritten letter to Danny J. Kruslak, in full (spelling and grammar retained): “I’ve just received your record, and will give it a big listening to when I return back home in Corona N.Y. I only have my portable tape recorder with me, on this trip, witch is only a two weeks’ engagement. I can’t play the record of yours’ otherwise-elsewhere because right now, I am as busy as a cat on a tin roof. Ya dig? But I’ve got you covered. I can relax at home an lend all ears to your platter. One too many sweethearts—it sound’s like a good one already. Sooo later for the listenings! Hear? Thanks in advance.” In fine condition, with light horizontal lines from onetime inclusion in a magnetic photo album. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Traces Ecrites of Paris.
