In March of 1868, Andrew Johnson became the first American president to be impeached. Johnson was charged with violating the Tenure of Office Act, passed by Congress the previous year over Johnson's veto. Specifically, Johnson had removed Secretary of War Edwin Stanton—whom the act was largely designed to protect—from office. Johnson was acquitted by the U.S. Senate, and remained in office. In December of 1998, Bill Clinton became the second American president to face impeachment. Clinton was charged with lying under oath, and obstruction of justice. He was also acquitted by the U.S. Senate and remained in office.

THOMPSON, HUNTER S. An Archive of Material by Hunter S. Thompson — 17 Autograph Letters Signed, 5 Typed Letters Signed, and a collection of notes, faxes, photographs and negatives, newspaper clippings, and additional material; written between 1974-1993, sent to William P. Dixon, a longtime friend of the Author Over 30 pages of autograph correspondence, 5 pages of typed correspondence, 50 pages of faxed correspondence, on various sizes and colors or papers, including HST's letterhead from Rolling Stone Magazine, and letterhead from the White House, United Airlines, Woody Creek Rod & Gun Club, Coconut Grove Hotel, Paul J. Davidson (Private Investigator), Jann Wenner, and Friends of Gary Hart; signed ("H," "HST," "Doc," "Sadia," "Mr. Flood," "J" (for Jann Wenner), "Emil," and more. With additional material, including: Fear and Laughter, Kitchen Sink Enterprises: 1977, letterpress invitation to Thompson's memorial, Napkin printed "Never call 911 | never | this means you | HST," Polaroid signed "Good Luck, H," 11 black and white photographs circa 1970s of Thompson in New Orleans watching TV and eating oysters (with negatives and contact sheet), a handwritten delegate count in anticipation of the 1988 Democratic Primary (in Dixon's hand), and more. Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson on George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Gary Hart, Bill Clinton, and more. A diverse collection of unpublished correspondence from HST to a longtime friend of the Author Hunter S. Thompson met Bill Dixon in 1972 while he was covering the presidential campaigns of Richard Nixon and George McGovern for Rolling Stone— work which would later be published under the title Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. At the time Dixon was managing the McGovern's Wisconsin campaign, and their correspondence, which begins two years after McGovern's loss, includes multiple references to the one-time Democratic hopeful. In their correspondence throughout the 70s and into the 80s, the pair continue to touch on politics and Thompson's writing work, while also discussing everything from weaponry to massage parlors. HST references working on multiple stories for Rolling Stone, including the '76 Florida primary ("It's the only primary on the schedule with a guaranteed weirdness quotient"), and his disastrous '75 trip to Saigon ("I just got back + the whole fucking roof has caved in — madness on all fronts"), where he conducted a series of lengthy interviews with Jimmy Carter, only to lose the tapes (and the story) owing to drunken carelessness. A year later, on a flight from Aspen to New York for the '76 Democratic Convention, HST passes a note to Dixon which reads: "You are right about this soft-core Nazi bastard, Jimmy Carter. He must be stopped — + I think we can do it if we start tonite! — by exposing the degenerates — + you know what that means. Come visit at once — to consult with yr Doctor..." Later correspondence reveals the author's impish sense of humor. In 1985, he writes to Dixon on Jann Wenner's personal stationary posing as Wenner: "I understand you have a project for 1988. What is it? And how can it make me even more powerful, rich, and famous than I already am? I have, as you know, elected the last two presidents. And I don't mind going for three (3)... I love power, Billy, But mainly I love rock & roll". Other correspondence hints that Thompson's teasing may in fact belie a thin skin. Writing of his less than positive portrayal in Gary Trudeau's Doonesburycartoon, Thompson writes:“It may be time to move on this Doonesbury gig – so consider this a serious request that your firm find a mutually-advantageous way to represent me in whatever legal action might result from the possibilities. Please respond ASAP.” In the mid-1980s, when Thompson got a fax machine at Owl Farm, that medium rapidly became his preferred mode of communication. His fax correspondence would often appear in the middle of the night, and a representative sampling includes an annotated article on horse mutilations in England, a copy of a letter sent to Random House's Jim Silberman attempting to negotiate a million-dollar advance for The Silk Road, and numerous missives on his "VULTURES ATTACK FUNERAL — AND EAT THE CORPSE!" letterhead. In keeping with their history, the pair continues to discuss the political scene in America. A 1992 June fax finds Thompson continuing to bemoan the state of American politics: "My TV set is alive with rude politics tonight. Ted Koppel is pimping for the White House again & Bill Clinton is blowing a weak Saxaphone (sic) on the Arsenio Hall show... Jesus! How low, O Lord, how low? Politics has always been an ignoble, knee-crawling spectacle with no visible bottom -- but this is the 90's, and we are growing accustomed to seeing new lows in almost everything." Unpublished political commentary from Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

Thompson, Hunter S. Archive containing a copy of an early Better Than Sex manuscript, a signed first edition, and accompanying material [ca. 1992-1994] An early manuscript of Better Than Sex. [1992]. 260 photocopied sheets (279 x 216 mm), each in plastic protectors, compiled in a red three-ring binder (292 x 286 mm).

[And]: Rolling Stone. 14-28 July, 1994. Side-stapled magazine (304 x 254 mm). Browning. Photographic wrappers; light wear at spine, closed marginal tears to front wrapper. Both issues housed in a black slipcase with folding chemise. The material that led to Better Than Sex and a signed first edition The present binder was one of three sent by Thompson to his editor during his drafting of Better Than Sex, as was his custom. Thompson would carefully select content from his working manuscripts, notes, and correspondence, photocopy the original pages at his home, paginate them, compile them into binders, and mail them to the publisher—he would never send the originals, which he kept in his basement. This is presumably the first or second of the three binders, given the content and the dates on various documents. The binder includes photocopies of Thompson's various letterheads, typed drafts, drawings, notes, ideas for the structure of the book, and extensive correspondence—including with Bill & Hillary Clinton, his editor David Rosenthal, Jann Wenner, Ross Perot, P.J. O'Rourke, John Cusak, editors at Playboy and Esquire, among numerous others. The pages contain quintessential Thompson musings—from humorous scrawls containing the genesis of later ideas ("Ho, ho, ho—welcome to Rock & Roll Bubba. We will kick yr lame ass until yr nose bleeds. You won't win two (2) goddamn states! Jesus! Tipper Gore! ... Ho, ho, ho Good ole Bill...Hi. Welcome to Mr. Bill's Neighborhood. Sodomy, weirdness + dumb treachery are seen as Normal here, & don't worry about anything Brutal. Remember I am He, & you're not") to distraught reflections on the state of the world ("We live in hideous times, Jann. The 90's will go down in history as one of thos [sic] nasty little back-waters when bad things happened to dumb people and things went wrong and nobody cared and nobody laughed and Fear was the governing ethic"). Many pages are either executed or annotated in marker with a large, bold hand, showcasing Thompson's stylistic flourishes at every turn. A substantial amount of the content here is unpublished, and reveals a raw, unedited version of the story of Better Than Sex. Though a number pages correspond to their polished counterparts in the book, and Thompson notes the process of drafting the complete manuscript at several points. Pages 221 and 222 list working titles for the manuscript: "Fear and Loathing inside [struck through] on the Campaign Trial '92," "Paranoia | Survival | Victory," "Notes from the Garden of Agony," and "Better Than Sex" boldly circled. On page 223, Thompson writes to his editor David Rosenthal, "In any case, we have made a great leap forward & now we must stomp on the gas. I think we have a book on our hands, here—for more or less Immediate Publication. You should have on yr. fruit-warped desk, by now, some 220 pages of a saga that will soar instantly to the top of the NYTimes list & make us both Wise, Rich & Powerful for the rest of this evil Century. ... The 220 pages that I sent you by FedXp yesterday are only the first wave of a living, throbbing Document ... All we need now is the red thread of Narrative & the unholy climax of Dramatic Tension that will erupt in [struck through] from the bowells [sic] of Arkansas when I journey there in the first week of November to somehow bring back The Story of ELECTION NIGHT IN LITTLE ROCK." Also included are the 17 September 1992 and the 14-28 July 1994 issues of Rolling Stone, which published "Bill Clinton: The Rolling Stone Interview by William Greider, P.J. O'Rourke, Hunter S. Thompson, and Jann S. Wenner" and "Trapped in Mr. Bill's Neighborhood" respectively. We can locate no other examples of Thompson's binders being offered at auction. All together, these offer a singular look into the the gonzo journalist's process.

He was forced to hire a guide from Cobham to Horsley and onward to 'purfoye', where he delivered the letter to Clinton. He then waited for a reply, which he carried to Burghley at the Court at Greenwich. His own fees and those of the guide amount to 16s 8d for five days at 4s 4d per day. A document providing an interesting and unusual insight into the work of the messengers who enabled the transmission of important correspondence.
