Lot 240 | "Sir, time eats"
KEROUAC, Jack (1922-1969). Typed postcard signed (“Jack”) to Ed White, postmarked Saint Petersburg, Florida, 16 October 1964.

"Anon, sir, our rendezvous in Denver-town, and so, write meanwhile.”

Jack announced plans for a car trip through Denver the following January. “Traveling with a new friend, college student.” The Florida house had been built and Jack had “8 tall pine trees.” The first intimation of what was to be Jack’s ultimate decline appears in this postcard: “Death of my sister Nin (46) has thrown me off in past month.” Jack’s sign-off: “Sir, time eats.”
