1998. A holiday card, with a note inside typed by Updike on Christmas day: "Dear ___: Thank you for the swift check; I hope this mishap didn't cramp your holiday spirit. Our insurance company has moved rapidly, and they didn't answer the phone yesterday, but we will call them off the case as soon as we can, on Monday, so your company will not bother you or your company. A happy 1999 to you and ___." Signed, "John." Fine, with near fine mailing envelope. [#030261] SOLD
