Telegram from Saul Holiff to Johnny Cash, 6 May 1967

Telegram from Saul Holiff to Johnny Cash about promoter Lucky Moeller. Tells him that Moeller does not receive commission and was able to book Cash for only four state fair dates in the summer because buyers were wary of booking him (Cash was notorious for missing shows at this point in time). Asserts that Cash's "professional behaviour is totally reprehensible." Quoted in Michael Streissguth's book Johnny Cash: The Biography (2006), on p. 133.
