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.
