Description
1959. Near Fine. Typed Tennesee Williams letter signed ("T. Wms.," in pencil) to his first analyst, psychiatrist Dr. Lawrence Kubie, Miami, 18 March 1959, 2 pages, 8vo, double-spaced, on both sides of a sheet of stationery of The Towers hotel, typed in small and large capital letters, dated by Williams in pencil and with an eight-word postscript."... I was often tempted to call you during the rehearsal period [for Sweet Bird of Youth] in New York ... I didn't call because I was atraid that I had forfeited your concern for me, by my stubborn resistance and running away from our work. I managed to stay on my feet till the day after the opening. Then I came down with the flu or a virus or just collapsed with exhaustion and fever. . . so l pulled myself a little together and took a plane to Miami... The fever's gone, now, but the exhaustion stays. I can barely write this letter. Let alone write on the film-plays that dear little Audrey [Wood, his agent and Sam Spiegel [Hollywood producer] and so forth are expecting me to turn out like hot-cakes for them... You see I am still full of piss and vinegar even if I am not still energetic... Well, I got through this thing which I felt I had to get through, and maybe now I will be willing and able to make another effort to salvage the me that doesn't live on paper or stage. I wonder!.. If you are going to be with such a hospital [a psychiatric hospital], I would like to know about it, just in case I finally have to face the necessity of that kind of help. If I have to, I would like it to be with you. You are one of the two or three wisest men that I have known in my life, and probably know me better than anyone else.
