A deeply personal collection of love letters in which a teenage Bob Dylan tells his high-school sweetheart that he envisions changing his name and selling a million records is going up for sale in Boston.
The collection, including a lavish Valentine’s card, is a “first-person account of Dylan’s formative years,” he said. RR Auction is not releasing the exact content of the letters ahead of time, but they deal with timeless and universal teenage concerns: clothes, cars, and musical tastes, the auction house said.
In one letter, he asks Hewitt for feedback about changing his name , and writes about selling a million records and appearing on “American Bandstand” in front of throngs of screaming girls.
