1984. framed. very good. Typed, signed letter from American playwright August Wilson in 1984. Great content as the letter reads more like a poem. Begins "Dear Friend..." and goes on to mention "Geogorio, who is first mate" which refers to G.L Fuentes a fisherman and the first mate of the Pilar, the boat belonging to the American writer Ernest Hemingway. Fuentes is credited by some as a model for Hemingway's protagonist Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea. Wilson goes on to say "The search has led to you...Speaking for myself and the other New Dramatists, your contribution is much appreciated." Framed along with a black and white portrait photograph of Wilson. Please inquire for more information.
