Beatle wrote in 1962 letter to Cynthia Powell that he wished he was on his way to her flat with ‘chocies and a throbber’
John Lennon is considered by many to be a poet.
But the Beatle revealed his more prosaic side in a letter penned in 1962 to his future wife Cynthia Powell, in which he declared: “I wish I was on the way to your flat with the Sunday papers and chocies and a throbber.”
The intimate missive, which includes a complaint about his bandmate Paul McCartney’s snoring – is now being sold at auction by Christie’s with a £30,000 to £40,000 estimate.
Written over five nights after concerts in their Hamburg residency in April 1962, Lennon, then aged 21, wrote: “I love love love you and I’m missing you like mad … I wish I was on the way to your flat with the Sunday papers and chocies and a throbber.
