Description

“You are their treasured author and they aren’t going to let you out of their clutches”

TLS signed “Jackie,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Doubleday letterhead, May 10, 1978. Letter to Stephen Appelbaum. In full: “I am trying to be very efficient and dictate this so please forgive me if I sound like an aborigine. Doubleday is, of course, really interested in your psychic healer book—but it would be in Anchor, not in my department. You are their treasured author and they aren’t going to let you out of their clutches—So you should send an outline to Elizabeth Knappman—and things will go zooming along from there. (I checked this with them.) I look forward to seeing you when you come to New York.” At the bottom, Kennedy adds a short handwritten postscript which reads: “Of course I’m not mad at you! See you soon.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
