A small archive of items from Harvard Professor of Armenian Studies James R. Russell. This includes: 
  1. A letter from “Morris” to Dr. Russell which notes a discussion about Burroughs
  2. An unused postcard of Allen Ginsberg as photographed by Burroughs in NYC in 1953
  3. A postcard of Burroughs by Richard Avedon with a cryptic message on verso [Dr. Russell corresponded with Burroughs about the Voynich Manuscript, and this appears to be in two alphabets]
  4. A sheet of paper noting Burroughs’ residential rooms at Harvard between 1933 and 1935 along with what looks to be an extension for “Felicity” – possibly Felicity Mason (?) – in an unknown hand
These items were acquired together from Philip Smith, Bookseller (Berkeley, California, US).
