Copenhagen, 10.8.1943. Folio (295 x 205 mm). Original typewritten letter, single leaf, 10 lines. Adressed "Sehr verehrte Frau Baronin", Signed "W. Best" lines. Horizontal fold, otherwise fine and clean. 1 ff. Original signed typewritten letter from Werner Best, SS-Obergruppenführer, Nazi Party official and head of Department I of the Gestapo, here acting as the civilian administrator of occupied Denmark, to the Danish author Karen Blixen, giving her permission to forward American and English reviews of her recently published "Winter?s Tales" to Sweden.Werner Best - the highest civilian authority during the occupation of Denmark - oversaw censorship and permissions concerning publications and foreign press material. Much have been said about Blixen and Hitler, and Nazi-Germany in general, and the present letter does not not nessecarily confirm any close ties, but direct correspondence between Werner Best and Karen Blixen indicates that her case was handled at the very highest administrative level, not just routine bureaucracy, of the German occupation. Not every author would have matters handled at Best?s level. Seller Inventory # 63092

Loose Leaf. Condition: Very Good. PKD and Sandra met in the fall of 1981, and had a brief but intense flirtation. 'I will dare to pursue you.' In this letter, PKD describes his ongoing search within his fiction to define authentic humanity, and expresses his belief that Sandra herself is human, is real. In so doing he explains the reasons he included three specific poems with his letter of October 6, with reference to his novels 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' and 'The Transmigration of Timothy Archer.' He also expresses a desire to bring Sandra to the premier of Blade Runner. Signed, twice, of a sort: once in English, and again after the postscript in transliterated Greek letters. First in a series of four; the next (10/12) is marked as 'letter two' and begins by explaining itself as a follow-up to this one. Published in 'The Selected Letters of Philip K.
