Keith Richards autograph letter signed to a fan in 1965, with original envelope hand-addressed by Richards as well. Written in red pen, letter reads in full: ''Dear Linda, Thank you for your nice letter. Hope you enjoyed the show at the Palladium, and I hope we played some of your favorite numbers. Actually it's not 'next stop Arizona, it's Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona etc. It is difficult to catch what Mick sings. One fan wrote and asked me 'What language Mick sings 'You can't catch Me! I must rush. See you around. Love / Keith Richards''. The song Richards refers to is ''Route 66'', which the band covered on their 1964 debut album. Comes with original envelope postmarked ''RUMFORD & DAGENHAM ESSEX / 10:00 AM / 8 SEP 1965''. Front of envelope has an Easton Ltd. rubber stamp which refers to one of their early managers, Eric Easton, who would soon be fired. Letter measures 5'' x 8'', envelope measures 6'' x 3.5''. Letter has address crossed out; good condition. Folds to letter, otherwise near fine.
