KEROUAC, Jack (1922-1969). Autograph letter signed (“Jack”) to Ed White, 7 January [1954]. Unpublished.

Octavo. Bifoliate leaf, one page covered; pencil. With envelope addressed in autograph, postmarked Jamaica, New York.

"[B]ut in conscience I can’t leave this room till I’ve done what I vowed to do...”

Recounting his New Year’s resolutions and the problems they were causing, he writes, “For reasons completely unexplainable to someone like Beverly [Burford] I’d on New Year’s made a vow not to leave the house [...] till I’d accomplished 2 things, 1) a certain piece of writing, 2) a certain term of reading-study tranquil mediation – so when she called last night I had nothing to say in my defense of my private plans and said I’d see her Saturday [...].”

In closing he asks, “[S]o figure some way to explain to her, boy, you know women better’n I do,” and promises, “Before I head for California in February I’ll drop up to Columbia to see you.”
