^Lot 254 J. Paul Getty

TLS signed “J. P. G.,” one page, 8 x 10, Sutton Place letterhead, February 18, 1964. Letter to a woman in Florida. In full: “I am afraid I am played out as a customer now. I have a complete set of Henty thanks, in part, to you and I am not in the market for his competitors. I am amused at the clipping you sent me. You are now having a visit from the Beatles and I hope they escape the Okrin [sic] exterminator.” In fine condition, with a few light creases and wrinkles. The week prior to this letter, the Beatles were on their first world tour of the USA which included the famous Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964, in New York and then again on the 16th at his theater in Miami.
