A two-page letter from a 16-year old fan from Columbia, South Carolina, to Brian Jones, Founder of The Rolling Stones, posted on 30 June 1964. See the transcript below for the full text of her letter which extolls the band for being 'the sexiest English group'. The letter is accompanied by a small empty envelope, also addressed to 'Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones', perhaps the envelope she was hoping Jones would use for a reply. Letter in very fine condition, envelope is torn down one side, with what looks a cigarette burn to the front (quite possibly from one of Jones' smokes). The letter was read and kept by Brian Jones, and was left in a metal trunk in the attic of his girlfriend's (Linda Lawrence) house on Loddon Bridge Road, Woodley, Reading, Berkshire in the UK. With full provenance. See the included photos of Brian Jones' trunk, the letter of authenticity from Tracks Ltd and also a shot of all the letters stuffed into the trunk and arranged by myself. Kept from the sunlight, the letters all share a kind of musty attic smell, but are entirely fresh and bright. For more background detail on these letters, Google 'Daily Mail', 'letters' and 'Brian Jones' for a newspaper article on the subject. The letter is significant as it belonged to and was kept by Brian Jones, who famously received the lion's share of fan mail - especially from female fans - as noted in the 2023 documentary 'The Stones and Brian Jones' (directed by Nick Broomfield). It was one of several sources of tension within the group that eventually forced Jones from the band in June 1969; he tragically died the following month, drowning in his swimming pool. The letter is also important as it dates from 1964, the first year of The British Invasion (of British music into the United States), the first year that the Rolling Stones and The Beatles set foot in the US, causing a huge sea-change in music there. The wording of the letter is as follows: 'Dear Brian, When I saw you on Hollywood Palace I thought you were gear and have thought that ever since I love the songs you sing and so far my favourite is 'not fade away'. To me, you are the sexiest English group and I love you for being sexy. The magazine I have says your birthday is February 28 1944. Is this the correct date? Are you really trying to quit smoking? If so, I hope you succeed. That's about all I know about you. Please write and tell me all about yourself. Is there a better address to write to you? This is the only one I could find. Are you really as cute as in person as you are on T.V. (telly)? Please send me a picture of you personally autographed and please answer this letter. It would kill me if you didn't answer it. I would hate to die because then I wouldn't be able to hear The Stones sing. I am sixteen years old and I am crazy also about the Beatles. Please write. Love you. ' Envelope addressed to: Brian Jones PERSONAL 93-97 Regent St London W1, England.

A two-page letter from a young fan from Pinner in Middlesex in the United Kingdom to Brian Jones, founder of the Rolling Stones in May 1964, expressing her humungous disappointment that Jones failed to show for the Rolling Stones gig at Colston Hall, Bristol three days earlier, after she drove all the way with friends from Pinner in London to Bristol (some 115 miles) just to see him. Even more tragically, Jones was present for the second show. She describes driving back to London, on the lookout for Jones' broken down car. The envelope is postmarked 13 May 1964. As Nico Zentgraf notes in his expertly-chronicled 'The Rolling Stones Database', Jones was absent from the first show on 10th May. 640510A 10th May: Bristol, Colston Hall (1st show) - without Brian Jones 640510B 10th May: Bristol, Colston Hall (2nd show) The letter was read and kept by Brian Jones, and left in a metal trunk in the attic of his girlfriend's (Linda Lawrence) house on Loddon Bridge Road, Woodley, Reading, Berkshire in the UK.

Letter in fine condition; envelope missing flap on verso, otherwise fine. The wording of the letter is as follows: 'PERSONAL TO BRIAN JONES, Tel HAT 4926 'Dear Brian, IT'S NOT THE SAME WITH ONLY 4 STONES!!! I am so disappointed, because we motored all the way to Bristol (Colston Hall) just to see YOU, and then when the Stones came on stage, you weren't even there. Well Brian, I honestly hope that you weren't ill or anything like that. But if it is just that you were late, and turned up for the second performance, then you must realise how heartbroken I am. How awful! The Rolling Stones minus Brian. Of course, I enjoyed the show, but it just wasn't the same without you. And we then had to drive all the way back to London, thoroughly disheartened, and until it got too dark to see, I was looking for a two-ton Hawk with a flat tyre or breakdown - but no luck! We didn't get home until midnight. Incidentally, to prove what good fans we are, we have bought two copies of your fabulous L.P.! My mum says this finally proves she is completely mad. I know you are terribly busy, but PLEASE PLEASE try to find time to write and tell me if you are ill or not, because I'm dreadfully worried. I have already written several times to you. An ever faithful fan XXXXXX' (name removed for confidentiality) Envelope addressed to: PERSONAL TO Brian Jones C/O Rolling Stones Fan Club 93-97 Regent Street London W1.

A very chatty three-page typed letter from a harmonica and accordion-playing fan from Livermore, California, to Brian Jones, founder of the Rolling Stones in July 1964, mainly discussing her musical tastes and pointers, referring to a large number of contemporary musicians. She has her eyes set on learning to play the drums. The envelope is post-marked 1 July 1964. The letter is too long to type out, which is what I usually do - the photos are clear enough for the letter to be read. The letter was read and kept by Brian Jones, and left in a metal trunk in the attic of his girlfriend's (Linda Lawrence) house on Loddon Bridge Road, Woodley, Reading, Berkshire in the UK.

A lively two-page four-side letter from a fan from Manchester, New Hampshire, USA, to Brian Jones, founder of the Rolling Stones in July 1964, declaring her love for Brian Jones and proposing marriage (among other things). 'A few days ago I opened up a magazine and I saw the Stones pics in it. My mother hated your group right off the bat, so naturally I had to write and tell you how much I loved you. Anything that my mother thinks is 'bad' has to be good!' 'Honest this is terrible! Boys with blond hair have never appealed to me before, now look what you've gone and done!! I realise this is downright stupid and juvenile but here goes anyway.will you marry me? Please? Let me know, I promise I'll make a good wife (but I can't cook, sew, or something like that but I can dance and drive a car.) and I'll do anything to make you happy. What more can you want? If not that, would you and the group stay at my house if you ever happen to be in my area.What a blast that would be!!'

Single leather sheet, printed recto and verso. Velvet flag of white with yellow lettering stuck to top of front leather. Flagpole stamped in dark brown into the leather. 5-3/8" x 3-1/4" "A particular genre of communication from early 1900 to 1909 was the novelty postcard produced on leather, more commonly referred to as 'leather postcards.'

Leather postcards postmarked after 1909 tend to be very rare - though not unseen."
