Charles Schulz sketching Snoopy to answer a fan letter is almost like Leonardo da Vinci painting a mini-Mona Lisa for a garden art club. You get the picture. Schulz's heartfelt, handwritten note to a sailor aboard the USS Renshaw in 1964 includes "Sorry I haven't time to write more." The 7x11" Hilton Hawaiian Village stationery paper is nearly as white as the day Schulz put pen to paper while the envelope's discoloration does not detract from the postmark and clearly written San Francisco port address. Signature is NRMT, letter is EX-MT and Envelope is VG. Behind the pen drawing of Snoopy, Charlie Brown's smart but kooky dog in the "Peanuts" strip, is Schulz's unmistakable hand which entertained millions for nearly 50 years. Good grief, Charlie Brown.
