Hunter S. Thompson autograph letter signed with his circled initial at the conclusion, and also ''HST'' on the address panel of the postcard, writing from ''Manor House'' in Big Sur, California with postmark of 8 August 1961. Humorously deviant letter reads in full, ''Sent word last week - advise if you haven't received it. I'll club the postman into a coma. / Pressure mounting here - eviction pending - no real word yet. Deer season opened today - big shooting everywhere. / Bring Harvey [Sloane] when you come - or send him ahead. Excelsior - H''. Postcard measures 5.5'' x 3.25''. Some creasing and soiling, very good condition.
