Letter written by Paul McCartney settling 1959 blanket ‘debt’ goes up for auction
Sir Paul McCartney jovially settling a long-standing ‘debt’ over a blanket is going up for auction.The letter was written in September 1989 in response to Irene Brierley, whose farmhouse in Harlech, north Wales McCartney and his late Beatles bandmate George Harrison stayed in during two occasions in 1958 and 1959 when they went on a pair of hitchhiking holidays.McCartney and Harrison became friendly with Irene’s son John during their first stay in 1958, with John recalling, as the Beatles memorabilia auction site Tracks notes, how he and the Beatles musicians played snooker and listened to Elvis Presley during their time together.John also recalls McCartney trying to learn how to play Buddy Holly’s ‘Think It Over’ on the Brierley family
