A note handwritten in pencil by Dennis Hopper on the back of letterhead for the film Easy Rider (Columbia Pictures, 1969). The front side of the letterhead has the yellow film poster across the top with the words "Cannes Film Festival Winner! 'Best Film By a New Director'" printed beneath it and the film's production credits printed across the bottom. A typewritten letter by Hopper's assistant Mary Williams was sent to Hopper at the Tourista Hotel in Peru. It reads in part, "Also enclosed are two letters you may want to see. Please let me know what, if anything, you want to do about these."

Hopper's handwritten note on the back is a response and appears to be in regards to the El Coretz Theatre in Taos, New Mexico, which he eventually purchased. His note reads in part, "Dear Mary Love to everyone / Read Larry's letter answer / Please that I am in Peru / would be interested in theater / but can't get it together now / won't be back till April that's / earliest could do anything."
