    Autograph letter signed (“Leonard”) to Marianne Ihlen ("Darling"), Buffalo, New York, 31 March 1967.

    One page, 240 x 150mm, University Manor Hotel letterhead; with transmittal envelope addressed to "Marianne Ihlen Cohen."

    A happy letter, written a month after his performance with Judy Collins and the day after a standing-room only gig in Buffalo. "Woke up in this little American city thinking about you. I’d like to get to know you sometime. Standing in your leather boots on that honey island in my mind. It’s morning! I read and sang here last night. All my love Leonard.”



    Provenance
    By descent from Marianne Ihlen.
