ALS signed “Brian Jones, xx,” one page, 7.5 x 9, reception date of June 9, 1966. Handwritten letter to a fan named Dawn, written during the Rolling Stones’ rise to international fame. In full: “Thank you nuts for your lovely letters. I’m very sorry I haven’t answered them until now, but I’ve been so very busy lately. Oh, thanks also for the great photos. Did you take them? You must have a good lens on your camera, to take close ups like that! You do seemed to have had rather rough time lately. Anyway, I hope everything turns out alright for you. Don’t forget to look me up, when you get to London? I honestly must rush Dawn.” A small photographic image is affixed with tape to the lower left corner. In very good to fine condition, with scattered toning, edgewear, pinholes, and a partial separation to a horizontal fold.
By June 1966, the Rolling Stones were riding the success of Aftermath, released that April as their first album composed entirely of original material and widely regarded as an artistic breakthrough, with Brian Jones contributing on sitar, dulcimer, and marimba alongside his guitar and harmonica work. Jones remained active outside the band as well, joining the Beatles at EMI Studios on June 1st to take part in the recording of ‘Yellow Submarine.’ On June 8th, a day before this letter was received, Mick Jagger collapsed from exhaustion and was ordered to rest, a brief pause before the group departed for the United States on June 23rd to begin a North American tour.
