Lot of 38 letters signed by ”To Kill a Mockingbird” novelist Harper Lee, many with exceptional content, including Barack Obama’s presidency, Eudora Welty’s criticism of Lee for only writing one book, defense of ”To Kill a Mockingbird”, Lee’s Southern heritage, recollections of her father, Christianity and her apparent atheism, a funny story of Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier & Helen Keller, and even making fun of Hitler. Lot includes 26 autograph letters signed ”Harper”, six autograph letters signed with the initial ”H”, four autograph notes signed ”Harper”, a Christmas card signed ”Harper”, and one autograph note unsigned. Most letters are on her personal stationery and all but one include the original envelope in Lee’s hand. Lee writes the letters to her friend Felice Itzkoff of New York, whom Lee affectionately calls ”Clipper” as in Yankee Clipper. The letters span from December 2005 to May 2010, with unique content excerpted below:
In a lovely letter dated 20 January 2009, the day of Barack Obama’s inauguration, Lee writes, ”On this Inauguration Day I count my blessings…I’m also thinking of another friend, Greg Peck, who was a good friend of LBJ. Greg said to him, ‘Do you suppose we will live to see a black President?’ LBJ said, ‘No, but I wish her well’…Harper”. In a letter dated 18 April 2009, Lee writes of her affection for Eudora Welty, even though Welty obliquely criticized her: ”…alas, I never had the privilege of meeting Miss Welty – You know I’m not a ‘tuft hunter,’ ie, seek out ‘names’ to meet – it’s one of the downers of life that N never got to meet her. She was the only person I ever ‘wanted to meet.’ I once heard her say something about ‘Harper Lee’s case’ – talking about one-novel writers. I could have told her: as it turned out, I didn’t need to write another one – much xxx, H.” In a letter dated 13 May 2009, Lee recounts a funny story of her friend Vivien Leigh and Leigh’s ex-husband Laurence Olivier who inadvertently insulted Helen Keller: ”My Helen Keller story is second-hand, but it comes from good authority. I was acquainted with Vivien Leigh – long divorced from Lord Olivier. Nevertheless her chief topic of conversation was ‘Larry.’ (She had a mine of good stories.) He was ‘on’ one night and was considerably annoyed by the ‘noise’ coming from two people in the audience. ‘Somebody making slapping sounds-can’t the management put a stop to it?’ / ‘If you want to put a stop to Helen Keller’s enjoyment of your program, have her interpreter be quiet,’ he was told. ‘It is sometimes rather noisy, when things go as they should.’ Of course, Olivier melted, begged Miss Keller’s pardon, and gave the rest of his performance in her honor, seemingly unaware of the ‘noise.’ / Vivien was a character and I loved her. She, after he left her, ‘adored Larry,’ but I understand was not very nice to him beforehand – it was so like her! Much love, H.” In a letter dated 14 May 2009 (”I think”), Lee writes of her friend Horton Foote, the Academy Award winning screenwriter for ”To Kill a Mockingbird”, who had just died. She compares Foote to her own father, in part, ”…The service seemed to catch Horton in full. If he was your friend, it meant you had another ‘best friend.’ I am so proud to say that he was my friend. I loved him with all my heart and shall miss him for as long as I am aware of anything. I never knew anybody like him except for my father, they had many traits in common. He was a great gentleman, and he did look like God! / The Foote children will have a lot to live up to. Their mother was as influential in their growing up as their father…There is so much evil in the world today that I guess people don’t recognize plain goodness. I wish ‘heaven’ were true. Much love, Harper”. Sold for $12,500.

Barack Obama autograph letter signed as President. Upon pale mint green White House stationery, Obama writes in full, ”Laura – / I read your letter and understand your frustration. One of the things I’m focused on is bringing back manufacturing to America. We’ve already seen the highest growth in that sector in 20 years, and we are going to keep pushing it. We’re also hoping to provide more resources to community colleges so mid-life, high-skill workers like your husband can get quick training for jobs that businesses are hiring for right now. I know that this doesn’t help your husband’s immediate need for a job, but I wanted you to know that your president hears you and is fighting for you every day.
