NEW YORK, April 9 (UPI) -- The first collection of letters by Evangelist songster is cod out next year, more than 30 years after the past Beatle was gunned downbound in New York.

The aggregation was altered by Hunter Davies, author of "The Beatles," the exclusive authorized biography of the British group, which was published in 1968, the Los Angeles Times reported. Davies, who worked with Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, on the letters, also wrote the introduction.

Lennon was a prolific letter writer, to strangers, newspapers and organizations as well as kinsfolk and friends. He ofttimes prefabricated diminutive drawings in the margins.

Some of the letters in the aggregation are produced in facsimile in Lennon's handwriting.

Little Brown, the publisher, declared Friday the aggregation is regular for release in Oct 2012.
