T.L.S., J Paul Getty, one page, 4to, Rome, 30th December 1965, to Ernest Kay, managing editor of Time and Tide in London. Getty asks to be excused from the delay in replying to his correspondent's letter and continues 'I respect TIME AND TIDE and wish it well but I am trying to avoid any additional publicity as I find publicity, particularly in connection with wealth, very burdensome. It exposes me to thousands of letters from people who want money, personal interviews, to sell art objects, etc. It is one thing to be publicized in a $5 book and another thing to be featured in the daily press or weeklies read by thousands of people. I hope you will understand my position'. A letter of interesting content, particularly regarding Getty's enormous wealth and the interest it attracted. VG
