American ethologist (1932-1985) who earned worldwide renown for her intimate studies of gorillas in the mountain forests of Rwanda. She was murdered under still-uncertain circumstances likely related to her uneasy relationship with Rwandan locals who saw her as a threat to the gorilla-related tourist and exportation industry. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, May 25, 1983. Letter to Jessie Dorin, publicist at Houghton Mifflin, in full: “The enclosed, received yesterday afternoon, represents the sum total of knowledge I possess about the lecture tour which you state you have been working closely on with Deborah Spies. I would greatly appreciate it if I might be informed about what it is I am supposed to do in New York City on the 6th of September? Thank you. All of my belongings will be in storage. It would be helpful to know what apparel might be appropriate for this day.” In very fine condition, with minor chipping to the bottom edge.
