Estimate value
£ 1 500 – 2 500
A handwritten sentiment or philosophical memorandum, titled Tribute to the Tent (from a long distance puffer), the twelve lines in black ink in Eric Clapton's hand on one sheet of white notepaper, musing to be a wanderer, you have to accept the fact that one day you'll be the slowcoach; all puff and hesitance, but when it comes upon you, all of a sudden, it can be a shock. What I mean is: we have all got a long way to go and those of us that give in to their own self rightcheness [sic], have further to go before they learn that being a wanderer is all puff and hesitance, signed with the monogram EC
8 x 5 in. (20.3 x 12.7 cm.)
