AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) of 3-1/2 pages

20 Jan. 1970 Fine 3-1/2 page letter written entirely in the jazz legend's hand with interesting personal and show business content on the back of four 8-1/2" x 11" photocopies of his advertisement for "Lose Weight The Satchmo Way." In part: "Enclosed is a tape [not present] that was recorded from the television show that I had when I was the Guest on the Dick Cavett Show, a real live show. I thought that you and the family would like to have it. I received all of your letters and as always I enjoyed reading them. So did my dear wife Lucille.... I also received the last shipment of lip salve that you sent to me. Also the big cans, which Lucille keep in the Refrigerator. But Mr. Kauffmann, you forget to mail to me the bill. Please my Dear Friend I am ready to send a check to you which will cover everything. Send to me the bill as soon as you can. And I will gladly pay you. Because I am always relaxed when I have a lot of lip salve. And for God sake, you must make it forever. I went down to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to do a T.V. show on the Mike Douglas Show.... We got in touchwith Mr. Gruner.... He was the agent for Mr. Franz Schuriz Lip Salve--Ansatz Creme. He's still around.... We send best to you and your family. Also we wish you all lots of Happiness. Goodnight." SIGNED as Satchmo and Louis Armstrong with a large signature. Also included is the original mailing envelope, in Armstrong's hand, with his signature and return address on the reverse.
