A really interesting one from freed POW Kurt Vonnegut Jr to his dad. JD Salinger reviews "Indiana Jones" to a friend. Bowie writes back to his first American fan. Brando writes a letter to Tennessee Williams - I have been afraid for you sometimes, because success sings a deadly lullaby to most people. Success is a real and subtle whore, who would like nothing better than to catch you sleeping and bite your cock off. An angry Hunter S Thompson lets loose on a Hollywood producer - http://www.lettersofnote.com/2009/09...azy-bitch.html http://www.lettersofnote.com

Interesting site. SF members might be interested in this one:

CARY GRANT
BEVERLEY HILLS, CALIFORNIA

June 6, 1958

Dear Art Roth:

It's about time you were thanked for those four Western shirts that greeted my return from another recent trip to Europe: if they had not been buried under the usual mess of accumulated trivia that demanded immediate attention, your kindness would have been acknowledged days ago. Still, I am once again grateful to you, as you must know. The shirts are, for a conservative such as myself, rather, rather....if you dig me....and I'm not at all sure if I can swagger out in gold-threaded finery. I shall await a braver mood.

My temerity is at a low ebb today, but I venture to ask that you let me know if Levi Strauss ever evolve a line of absolutely plain un-checked, un-metal-threaded, absolutely solid-colored shirts...no matter what the colors: I will rush to the nearest shop.

You have my happy and grateful thought, Art Roth; when are you and I going to meet?

(Signed)

Cary Grant.
