Daughter’s Letters From Salinger to Be Auctioned

Sotheby’s auction house will sell 32 letters and postcards author J.D. Salinger wrote his daughter over a 35-year period beginning in 1958.

The 43 pages of correspondence between Margaret “Peggy” Salinger and her father could bring as much as $350,000, a Sotheby’s official said. The lot goes up for bid Wednesday.

The letters cover everything from the mundane to details that “capture the voice of the great author,” Sotheby’s said.

These include Salinger’s fascination with macrobiotics and homeopathic remedies, and his thoughts about his father’s death.
