Cohen writes, "It's hard to write you. The surf is too loud. The beach is too crowded, and you're too much in my heart to put anything down". It is estimated to fetch $6,000-9,000.Also on sale is an autographed letter from February 1967 after his first major performance in New York.Cohen describes in the letter that he "sang in New York for the first time last night, at a huge benefit concert. Every singer you've ever heard of was there performing. Judy Collin introduced me to the audience, over 3,000 people, and they seemed to know who I was, mostly because of 'Suzanne' (a song by Cohen)".( With inputs from IANS )
