A one-page typed and signed letter from Gene Autry, dated March 17, 1978, written on Gene Autry stationery. The letter reads in full, "Dear Johnny, I have been advised that you have recorded your song, 'Who Was Gene Autry' to be included in your new album, 'I Would Like to See You Again'. I am delighted that you want to use the song in the album and you certainly have my permission to do so. I hope it will be a million seller for you. Warmest Personal Regards, Gene Autry." Cash was an admirer of Autry from an early age and wrote, "When I saw my first Gene Autry movie as a child I was filled with awe and wonder...He confirmed the hope that good could triumph over evil." Cash had Autry sign his Martin D-35 and the signature can be seen on the guitar in Cash's video for "Hurt." Categories: Johnny Cash
