Stanley Kubrick autograph letter signed, dated 26 March 1967. Here, the director writes to New York University physicist and personal friend, Jeremy Bernstein. Bernstein wrote a famous ''New Yorker'' profile of the director as he was making ''2001: A Space Odyssey''. Reads in full: ''Congratulations and my suspenseful and most sincere hopes for Miss X. She sounds so good it could be a come on for a wife-swapping ad in the Enquirer. There is a good chance we will return to London after the film opens so it would be great if you did come to Imperial College. Your parents probably told you they visited the studio. I don't know what impression they got of things. I hope they found it interesting. Your father reminds me of Omar Bradley and your mother of you, though you (sound) speak exactly like your father. I'd like to see the Oppenheimer obituary. I enjoyed the piece you sent. I do hope you work things out to your satisfaction.'' Signed ''Stanley'' in bold, black ink. Letter on one page is lined and measures 8'' x 12''. Very minor toning and folds throughout, else very good to near fine.
