ALS signed “Gary,” three pages, 7.75 x 10, written on November 15 and 24, 1960. Letter to his wife, Barbara. In part: “I am very worried because I haven’t heard from you in a long time. In fact I haven’t received an answer to any of my letters that I have written since I have been moved to this prison. It has been over forty days since I had your last letter. Hope nothing is wrong…It looks as if there is some trouble with the new return address. It is correct as I sent it to you. The people here have checked several times and assure me that the letters were mailed…This will be the sixth letter I have written you since I have been transferred. I have not received an answer to any of them. The last letter I received from you was in answer to two letters I wrote just before leaving Moscow…I have had some pictures made and will enclose them in this letter. Don’t want you to forget what I look like. Things here have been just about the same. Nothing new happens. I have seen several movies and three concerts—two of which were given by armature groups from factories in town and the other by prisoners. I have enjoyed all of them. In my last letter, I did not know the results of the election. I am glad that Kennedy won. I sincerely hope he turns out to be a good President and puts the good of the people above all other considerations.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Powers’s hand. RR Auction COA.
