Neurotic two-page corre-spondence offers a look into the mind of one of our greatest female rock stars. Content is just riveting. "...Another reason I'm sad-my period started today & I was hoping I was preg-nant. I guess I felt I could use that if you tried to leave...but now all I can do is worry. I love you more than God..." Letter is unsigned, but accompany-ing mailing envelope is autographed above her return address, "Miss Janis Joplin." Letter was acquired from ex-wife of addressee. All ink is NRMT. (From another vendor).
One of Janis Joplin's greatest fans and later friend, Miriam Vermes, has kindly given Leland's the opportunity to offer her collection of Janis' personally owned belongings. Miriam spent time with Janis in Toronto in 1970 after posing as a reporter for the Montreal Star. She interviewed Janis at the Waldorf during her Festival Express Tour. Janis was astounded at the wealth of photos and information about her and allowed Miriam to photograph her and even invited Miriam to dinner, overnight and even backstage. At one point they traded personal belongings and these Miriam would now like to see be treasured and displayed. LOA available.
