Letter from F. Scott Fitzgerald at the Garden of Allah Hotel, Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, April 19, 1938

Genuine Garden of Allah Hotel ephemera doesn’t surface very often, so when it does, it’s worth checking out. This item is especially noteworthy: It’s a hand-written letter by F. Scott Fitzgerald, dated April 19, 1938, to his secretary in Baltimore about his wife, Zelda, who was in a mental sanitarium at the time. (He seems awfully keen about his phrase “four-legged fish, doesn’t he?) FYI, when this letter came up for auction recently, it went for around $4,000! My thanks to JD Sobol for bringing this to my attention.
