Handwritten Letter from Patsy Cline. A charmingly gracious handwritten letter from Country music superstar Patsy Cline, dated January 31, 1957 on 6" x 9" stationery of the Hotel Dixie in New York, thanking a fan in Wisconsin "for writing and saying such nice things abut me." The two-sided letter expresses Patsy's joy over her success ("I think I'm dreaming"), gives news about her upcoming engagements (including the Ozark Festival and The Ed Sullivan Show) and salutes her fan, "You sound like my kind of people." The closing and signature are great - 'Musically a true friend, Patsy Cline Winchester, Va." Patsy wrote this letter very shortly after her star-making appearance on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scoutst, where she sang Walkin' After Midnight. Patsy Cline, whose most famous song, of course, remains Willie Nelson's Crazy, died in a plane crash in 1963, but over 40 years later is still considered one of the all-time biggest stars of Country music. The letter is in Excellent condition, and comes with its orignal Hotel Dixie envelope with $.03 stamp.
