KEROUAC, Jack (1922-1969). Typed postcard signed (“Jack”) to Ed White, postmarked October 10, 1949, Jamaica, New York; with autograph postscript providing his new address.

A postcard marking Kerouac's new address in Queens, 94-21 134th Street, Richmond Hill. Here he scolds White for not visiting during a trip to New York: “You never stay at my shack.” He also asks White to let Bev Burford know he’d moved. Bev also hailed from Denver and had been White's girlfriend for a time. She would be involved with Kerouac briefly in the spring of 1950 and would serve as the model for the character Babe Rawlins in On the Road. He intersperses his news with queries: “How’s Justin? Where’s Hal?” White and Kerouac were once again separated by two thousand miles and their correspondence would resume.
