Sorry for taking so long to post this. It's a bit hard to read, so I typed it below the pic.

Brian's editorial in issue #7 of the Rolling Stones Monthly Book, December 1964:

Hello!
I reckon I'm lucky to be here. I really felt horrible towards the end of our American tour and I can only vaguely remember being carted off to the hospital and lots of doctors and nurses rushing around. I do recall being pretty worried about the rest of the boys. How they were going to manage without me and also about whether I'd be able to fly back to England with them. It's always worse being ill in another country - it doesn't seem so bad at home.
I really did appreciate all the telegrams and letters I received and they really helped a great deal - thanks a lot!
I never expected any of our records to go straight into the top spot. In a way it scares all of us because it means that, in future, we'll have that much more to live up to. You know how it is - if our next record doesn't become a No. 1 in the very first week we'll get the "knockers" after us wanting to know why we haven't done it again, and all that sort of things.
As most of you probably know, both Keith and Charlie are great at drawing. Keith does some wonderful cartoons of people whereas Charlie likes being more symbolic in his stuff. He's done a book on the great Negro Jazz musician, Charlie "Yardbird" Parker, which is being published soon after Christmas. I think you'll like it. It's certainly different.
Congratulations, Charlie, on getting spliced. I wish you the very best of luck and hope you'll tell everybody something about Shirley the next time you're editor.
ALL OF US - MICK, CHARLIE, BILL, KEITH AND MYSELF - WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH LOTS OF GOOD RAVES. AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US DURING THE PAST YEAR. YOU'VE BEEN THE GREATEST.
