Ross, Faucett. Extensive Archive of Faucett Ross-Jeff Busby Correspondence. Spanning 1977 - 83, Ross writes in longhand on varied subjects, among them Ross granting permission for Busby to publish Ross's routines and his manuscript on Dunninger's act, a planned book of Paul Fox's life and magic, and other proposed projects (among them a Vernon autobiography). Other topics include Busby's arrangement with Danny Dew for the Paul Fox line of products, extensive discussions of Paul Fox tricks and gimmicks (some of them unpublished), and comments on magicians of the era. Most letters run to two or more pages. Many carbons of Busby's responses included, several discussing in detail items he has purchased from Ross or Ross has gifted to him. Over 200 pages, primarily 4tos filled front-and-back. An important record, neatly organized.
