Footnotes
This was sent to the vendor by George Harrison. A Beatles fan, the vendor's first letter to George was with reference to some negative publicity about the group in his local paper (Yorkshire Evening Post, he was studying at Leeds Art College at the time). The vendor had written to the paper supporting the group, hence George's comment 'Keep doing it'. The second letter came as a response to the vendor writing about Eastern religions and Hinduism in particular, and requesting George's recommendation for books on the subject.
