Manuscript by RAH’s second wife on eBay

This is from the Forrest J. Ackerman estate. Forrey was a literary agent for a while and they’ve been selling stuff from the Garage Mahal.

Robert A. Heinlein’s wives also acted as editors, and Leslyn MacDonald also was supposed to have been a writer. How much of this story is Leslyn is unknown. My thinking is that she wrote this after she divorced Heinlein in 1947, and 4E was not an active agent until later in the 1950s.

$2,999.95 buy-it-now is way too high, especially since it does not come with any publication rights.

This is a corrected copy that was probably retyped before it was shipped out to markets. It never sold, as far as my Googling can tell.

Take a look at the first page.
