Hunter S. Thompson typed postcard signed ''J. Daw'', short for jackdaw bird. Postmarked 16 December 1960, clever letter to his friend Paul Semonin reads in part, ''Dear Hashmaster: Big chaos here. Movement, maybe toward NYC for the holidays...Round-trip with gin & credit card...The Lord knows where I'm going and the Devil knows who I'll marry, but everything else is up for grabs...Vieques [Puerto Rico] story bloomed in H-T; big daddy scores again. Now all I need is Esquire. Big money looms. Great Puerto Rican novel [''Rum Diary''] now underway...Only an act of god can detour me. Get plenty of coal and whiskey. J. Daw''. Postcard measures 5.5'' x 3.25''. Very good plus condition.
