1p., 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Brammall's address is given as Cheetwood, 123 Dartmouth Road, Brondesbury, NW. Note Wilson's parsimonious or thrifty use of his old Premier's letterhead despite his return to England. He regrets having to decline Brammall's invitation 'relative to the Dinner of the Diggers' Club to be held on the 8th June', due to his 'being absent in the North of England on that date'. A manuscript list of attendees (presumably by Bramall) is on the reverse, with the note: 'I should like a small table in the room for the artistes after dinner'.

A remarkable survival from the legendary "happening" orchestrated by the Diggers and the Artist Liberation Front at the Glide Memorial Church in Haight Ashbury. The multi-day party began on Friday 24 February 1967. Conflicting accounts suggest there were anywhere between 5,000 and 20,000 attendees, who filled the church's rooms with art, music, dance, and drugs. The "happening" was the Diggers's reaction to the Trips Festival and the Human Be-In of the previous year. The festival's message was that "if there was something you always wanted to do, but never had a room to do it in, come to the Invisible Circus at eight o'clock and you could do it" (quoted in Abbot, p. 48). Anecdotal evidence suggests that there were performances by Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, and Big Brother and the Holding Company. Some sources say that the party was shut down after just eight or nine hours. Others recall revelling from Friday 24 until the morning of Sunday 26 February, just in time for services led by the revolutionary pastor Cecil Williams. The Invisible Circus encapsulated everything the Diggers aimed to be. "In a way it was a vision of what the Be-In ought to have been", the author Charles Perry noted. "Not a passive stroll around the speakers' platform but a participatory event. Not in the park but downtown in the gritty Tenderloin. Not healthful, peaceful and decorous but smutty, rebellious and possibly dangerous. Not four hours in the afternoon but seventy-two hours of nonstop happenings" (quoted in Abbot, p. 47). This handbill was printed to advertise the event. The Communication Company, led by Chester Anderson and Claude Hayward, took over a room of the church. They lugged their gestetner machines into the centre of the action and cranked out a series of handbills featuring "newsflashes": snippets of stoned conversation and readings from the I Ching overheard at the event. The communiques were "rushed out so quickly that often the ink hadn't dried and the halls were soon carpeted with the mushed remains" (quoted in Abbot, p. 49). Keith Abbot, Downstream from Trout Fishing in America: A Memoir of Richard Brautigan, 1989; Kristine McKenna & David Hollander, Notes from a Revolution, 2012, p. 152.

First edition, the scarcer "Free" issue, of the final collective publication by the Diggers, a radical community-action group of activists and street theatre actors operating in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district during the late 1960s. Contributors include Peter Berg, Neal Cassady (anonymously), Richard Brautigan (whose poem "All Watched Over By Machine of Loving Grace" appears here), Allen Ginsberg, Emmett Grogan, Paul Krassner, and Gary Snyder. The magazine was published between 1965-8. This issue of The Digger Papers was published in two versions: one distributed by the Diggers with "Free" on the cover, and the other distributed by The Realist as issue #81 (August 1968) with a different cover layout. Brautigan, along with poet Michael McClure, would sometimes stand on Haight Street and hand out the free publications to passers-by. Quarto, 24 pp. Illustrated in black and white. Original buff printed wrappers. A little edgewear, usual toning, one tip negligibly creased; near-fine.
