![Personalized letter from Ursula Le Guin to local poet, Richard Dillard. Dated Feb 22, 1977.
“Dear Sir Hugh, The fame is up. the Dillard persona, though inevitably ingenious, will serve you no longer. It is useless to pretend that you do not know what was concealed in OHina’s bun. You realise [sic] now that your only recourse is to write another book. Forever yours, Ursula, Baroness Frutz [?] - Drachen”
Love the faint paw print in pencil! Not sure yet on price :/
