JOPLIN JANIS: (1943-1970) American Singer. An extremely rare A.L.S., love you XXXXX Janis, nine pages on eight separate leaves, 4to, n.p. (Port Arthur, Texas), 10th October n.y. (1965) to her fiancé, Peter de Blanc. Joplin writes a long, social, and at times revealing letter, starting to state, “I´ve been busy. In fact, right now, I´m completely exhausted, really damn tired. I had a bitch of an afternoon…I´ve been up there about 9 fucking hours doing the damn thing & we only got 3 songs! And what a drag! Neil didn´t really know how to record on his recorder & it was really a hassle. Singing & singing & being nervous. Jesus Christ. I got all weak & shaky for a while, but we finally stopped to eat….Well anyway, the tape = two blues, Come Back, Baby & Once I lived the life of a Millionaire and one really pretty ballad, Once I Had a Sweetheart. I hope it´s alright & I hope I don´t scare people…´ further stating `So we decided to go to a bar & have a few beers. (I don´t know whether you´ve ever done that kind of socializing. Sitting in a real bar…It´s really kind of nice)… So we went to the Top Hat, sat down, had a round of Lone Star beer & watched the pool table….So what happened? I beat everybody in the house! Too much! I beat all of the local champions & two dykes. I really couldn´t believe it. I just played great! And people kept buying me beer & I kept drinking it. Wow, now I hope you aren´t mad at me. I didn´t do anything wrong, except get a little smashed and I didn´t stop thinking about you. I guess someone who is engaged doesn´t want to think that his fiancée is going out & playing pool in Texas pubs....´ and concludes on a postscript to the verso of the last leaf `In one of your letters, you asked about the flowers. Well, I told you about them in the letter (Don´t you read my damn letters?) They´re purple straw flowers…I´ll send a few more, keep them & you can have a small bouquet soon…´. Accompanied by the original envelope, addressed in Joplin´s hand, and postmarked in Port Arthur, Texas, 12th October 1965. The envelope still contains the remains of Joplin´s purple straw flowers. EX £2000-3000 Peter de Blanc was hospitalized for a drug problem at Beth Israel Hospital in New York at the time of the present letter. Only few weeks later he broke off his engagement.
