Description

"The two films, 'Tropics of Cancer' and 'Quiet Days in Clichy,' are now enjoying a success in Europe"

ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, March 24, 1971. Letter to Larry Diefenbach, in full: "Sorry to be so late in answering your letter of March 15th. Tomorrow I am mailing you a batch of interesting items which you may be happy to add to the material for the exhibit this spring. I call your attention principally to the notices concerning 'The H. M. Odyssey' and the handsome book/portfolio—'Insomnia'—by the Ronjon Press. Perhaps the University would be interested in showing the film and acquiring a copy of 'Insomnia.' The two films, 'Tropics of Cancer' and 'Quiet days in Clichy,' are now enjoying a success in Europe. If there is anything more you can think of that I may do to help you please let me know. Good luck!" Miller adds a brief line in black felt tip below, "Here is my authentic signature for you—Henry Miller," and then, in the lower right, "(Brazilian Portuguese proverb)." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Miller's own hand.
