Cassady letter - the plot thickens
It's no surprise that people are coming out of the woodwork to claim ownership of the Cassady letter mentioned in my previous post. Lots of moola at stake, which brings out the greedy worst of all the players. You can read about all this in today's SF Chronicle right here. Be sure to check out the great photos on page two. I love the picture of "the gang" outside Ferlinghetti's City Lights book store in October 1956.

tom, can't believe I'm only catching up to your two posts about the Cassady "letter" now...had no idea about this, which from my perspective should have been all over the Internet and the nightly news etc....and I'm siding with the Cassady estate, his progeny should benefit from the sale and the publication of the manuscript ("letter") with a portion going to the woman who found it in her dad's archives...but the greedy Sampas clan has made enough on Kerouac's legacy, cutting Jack's daughter and nephew out of any profits while they were alive...not a nickel to that greedy ass group of con men...
I totally agree with your take on this matter.
