The Art of the Letter: What we can learn from illustrated letters in the
collections
"What can I possibly say!!?!?"
Thus begins a 1965 letter from comedian Joan Rivers to future *New York
Times* theater critic Mel Gussow. In the letter, located in Gussow's archive
at the Ransom Center, Rivers thanks Gussow profusely for publishing an
article about her at such a formative point in her career. Rivers closes the
letter: "To say 'thank you very, very much' sounds so trite but I really
mean it—I'm floating on air." Then, when words don't suffice, Rivers lets a
picture take over: a hand-drawn stick figure of herself literally floating
on air, beaming atop a cloud.
