Dr. Seuss hand illustrated and signed letter, featuring ''The Cat in the Hat'' being pulled up and away by a large balloon. Letter dated 24 February 1972 on Dr. Seuss stationery to Diddo Clark reads in part, ''That was the finest letter I have every received on a green balloon in many a month...I am back again on that merry-go-round for Hollywood or New York...Ted''. Clark, an undergraduate at the University of California at San Diego, taught a class for freshman on the pursuit of excellence. Theodor Geisel (Seuss) was a guest speaker in the class. In 1972, Seuss was busy with his first animated special, ''The Lorax,'' which came out that year. Letter measuring 7.25'' x 10.25'' is mounted to a 10'' x 16'' mat. Fine condition.
