Item description

ADMATTER IS PROUD TO OFFER FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TODAY THIS ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN RESPONSE TO A PIECE OF FAN MAIL BY MISS KATHARINE HEPBURN. PLEASE CLICK ON +MORE (or More about this item) TO VIEW THE FULL DESCRIPTION The response in her own hand is as follows: "Dear Robert Ray-I've always wondered whether trees could fall on houses destroy them-Now I know- I am sorry- Wow!" The response was hand written on the reverse side of the original postmarked transmittal envelope. The Envelope original Fan Letter was torn in half and the envelope was taped together from one (Front) Side. This is part of an extremely rare collection I will be listing in the months ahead. This collection was originally acquired by Bob Allen a well known celebrity autograph hound and collector. Mr. Allen collected discarded items from Katharine Hepburn's trash outside her Town House on 244 East 49th St. in New York City during a 4 year period from 1988-1992. There are also some pieces from her Connecticut Addresses. Upon request I will include a COPY of of a letter from Mr. Allen stating these facts. Miss Hepburn would hand write responses directly on her fan mail and her secretary who I believe was either Sharon Powers or Phyllis Wilbourn would then type them up on Miss Hepburn's stationary. Many of these letters show a an often bizarre side of Miss. Hepburn. You get an insight to a personal side of her that was not well known. The majority of the handwritten items are not signed because they were intended for only her secretary to see and document her responses. Miss Hepburn also destroyed many of the items by tearing them in half, as they were intended for the trash. These were later salvaged and then some were taped back together. Here is you chance to acquire a one-of-a-kind collection of one of the most extensive personal finds from one of the biggest Hollywood legends of our time. Regarding my personal guarantee. I always have, and always will guarantee the authenticity of any autograph I sell. I have been selling autographed memorabilia for over 25 years and never received a return or rejection. If any autograph I sell fails to pass from any of the following highly respected Authentication services: Professional Sports Authenticator PSA/DNA. James Spence Authentication JSA. Global Authentics Services GA. Beckett Authentication Services BAS. Then upon receipt of the returned item and rejection notice from the authentication service within 60 days of purchase I will refund the original cost paid to me by the buyer.
