One page carbon-typed document written in German, on Apeiros letterhead. 21x29.7 cm. (8x11¾").

Signed by dealer Richard Aaron and the buyer of the archive, Roberto Altmann, owner of Apeiros Magazine. Additionally signed by William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin. The date also written out in ink. A document from a historic sale of the William S. Burroughs archive which included his diaries, correspondence, photographs, manuscripts, and much material by Brion Gysin. Once acquired in private hands, the private owner became notoriously difficult for allowing scholarly review of its contents. Further description of the sale is described in Ted Morgan's Literary Outlaw: The Life and Times of William S. Burroughs. The archive was eventually sold, and now resides in the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library. An important document from this historic transaction.
