The Rolling Stones stayed in the Grand Hotel, Torquay between the 25^th and 29^th August 1964 when the Stones were performing a series of concerts in the area including a performance at Torquay Town Hall on the 29^th August 1964. Bill must have kept the letterhead after leaving the hotel to reply to fan letters. In the letter Bill mentions his son Stephen who would have been two years old at the time. Bill also mentions the latest Rolling Stones record, ‘Little Red Rooster’ released on the 13^th November 1964. The letter measures 16.5cm x 20.25cm (6.5 inches x 8 inches). The condition is excellent.
