Title: SOLD BY PRIVATE TREATYGroup of 12, one to two-page typed and holograph letters, almost all signed, and 6 holograph postcards signed, to Henry Miller Author: Nin, Anaïs Place: Various places Publisher: Date: 1966-1976 Description: 12 one to two-page typed and holograph letters, most signed by Anaïs Nin. One in original envelope. Post cards with Nin's return address printed on rectos. The letters and postcards from Nin to Miller discuss much about her diaries, and what could and could not be published of the correspondence in her Diaries, as well as mutual acquaintances, surgeries, current activities, and memories. From one letter, Nin writes, "I am winning my battle with man hating feminists. Kate Millet who wrote such a hate filled book against men, has paid me a tribute and changed considerably. I suppose you have heard that my papers will be with yours at UCLA but most of it goes to taxes. Unbelievable. I have been venturing out in spite of the hole in my stomach caused by radiation and which erupts at unexpected moments which kept me in the house for a year and a half..." From another, dated 1973, "Have been reliving the past so unfortunately left out of the Diary (compassion!) Xeroxing your personal letters for the day they can be published. I will of couse show you a copy. I did the job myself for privacy at a College xerox machine! An hour a day is all I could do. I hope this year there won't be so many lectures. Deep down I don;t like the public life - prefer just to write and stay home but my horoscope gives me dependants...." There are also a couple of letters from a trip to Asia that Nin took in 1966, describing her travels, particularly in Japan: "My publisher entertained me royally, with Geisha dinner - and they are eager to do the same when you come. I feel at home with that mixture of deep meaning expressed in outward beauty - the immaculateness, the caring, the tranquility, the poetry - Nothing is literal. A garden is a representation of the eternal, it must always be green, no flowers, flowers die and disturb contemplation of eternity!...." A number of the letters have Anais' last name holographed in Miller's hand next to her signature. Lot Amendments Condition: About fine. Item number: 196356
