Description

A signed letter written by the cartoonist in response to an importunate fan, accompanied by a signed Peanuts greeting card.

  • Charles M. Schulz (American).
  • Typescript letter on watermarked stationery with Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates letterhead, signed by Schulz. With "Peanuts" Hallmark greeting card, also signed by Schulz, in yellow Hallmark envelope.
  • Both items in original postmarked envelope, mailed from One Snoopy Place.


"Sorry you were upset that I was not able to answer your previous letters."


The preceding correspondence to which this letter replies and refers can only be imagined, but Schulz's three firm and courteous paragraphs offer a strong suggestion. All of the dozens of daily writers to the then-74-year-old Snoopy creator "wanted something," he explains: autographs, drawings, donations, or, as seems probable in this case, detailed and personal engagement with a beloved legend, not his staff. "Can you imagine how difficult it is for us to accommodate each person who writes?" Anyhow, he closes, "Kindest regards."
