Dear Charlie, a book of reproduced correspondence (and envelopes) from comic artist S. Clay Wilson to poet/publisher Charles Plymell and his wife Pam Plymell, published in 2021 by Water Row Books (Marlborough, Massachusetts, US) in a softcover trade edition, an edition of 100 numbered hardcover copies, and 26 lettered and signed (on bookplate) copies [a lettered copy is shown here]. This includes an introduction from Charles Plymell. 

This includes several letters from S. Clay Wilson mentioning William S. Burroughs, as well as reproductions of Wilson's illustrations from Tornado Alley.

This specific copy is letter 'C' of the 26 lettered copies, inscribed to me on a bookplate from the Water Row Press publisher Jeffrey Weinberg, signed by Charles Plymell, and stamped with the facsimile signature of S. Clay Wilson. This was received directly from the publisher along with a copy of the eight-page prospectus, which contains additional mention of Burroughs.
