Description

Salinger refers to an "old story" in a scarce letter to a reader

TLS signed "J. D. Salinger," one page, 8.5 x 11, June 1, 1970. Letter to Stephen Largarticha, written from his secluded home in Cornish, New Hampshire, evidently replying to a comment on one of his literary works. In part: "I'm glad if that old story read all right." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, postmarked at Windsor, Vermont, where Salinger kept a P.O. box. In addition to his classic 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger was a prolific author of short stories, which were widely published throughout the 1940s in periodicals like the Saturday Evening Post, Esquire, Collier's, and Cosmopolitan.
