Description

Jim Morrison fan mail letter sent out eleven days after the death of the Doors lead singer, one page, 8.5 x 11, July 14, 1971. The letter, issued by Danny Sugarman of Door Productions, reads, in part: "As you have undoubtedly heard Jim Morrison passed away July 3rd in Paris. The death was attributed to natural causes. The other three Doors while understandably upset about the death of their friend, realize that the show must go on. They intend to still make music together, and they have no immediate intention of replacing Jim. We all loved Jim for what he was—a kind, warm-hearted person, gentle person, with the soul of a clown. He always cared about you guys out there and he hired me to take care of you. He enjoyed your presents and cards and proudly displayed them on the wall near his desk. There is no going back and undoing what has already been done. We're sure Jim is happy, and his presence will always be felt here, up at the office. Jim was a good person, but sometimes he tried too hard. He gave everything he had into what he did…and he did it with total conviction. I'm sure we'll all miss him—that goes without saying. We should all know how lucky we were to be a part of his life, directly or indirectly." In fine condition, with expected mailing folds and light creasing. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
