Harper Lee autograph letter signed, dated 2 January 1995, from Monroeville, Alabama, the author's hometown and the setting of her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel ''To Kill a Mockingbird.'' Letter, written in black ink, reads in full: ''Dear Mr. Salter: You know as well as I do that it is not remotely necessary for you to send me a present every time I sign some books for you. But I wonder if you know how touched I am by your kindness and how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness and the gift! 'Hot Flashes, etc.' is a delightful companion-piece to 'White Trash Cooking,' which I'm already into with much delight. I hadn't known of its existence, which made it a lovely surprise. The photographs are something else again, and besides being beautiful, tell me where the white trash is these days. Like everybody else I know with two dimes and a trailer, they've gone to Florida! Thank you so much. Happy New Year, Harper Lee''. Two page letter, measuring 6'' x 9'', has two folds from mailing. Includes original envelope, with addresses written in Lee's hand. Near fine.
