A letter written by Kurt Cobain to his then wife Courtney Love in which he complains about feeling unwell after hallucinating on LSD will be auctioned by Christie’s next month.

The letter, written in a Sheffield hotel room during during Nirvana’s 1991 British tour, is estimated to fetch between £6,470 and £7,550 at a sale of rock `n’ roll memorabilia, reports the New York Post.

Scrawled in black ballpoint on lined 8 x 11-inch paper and headed “Courtney Love Breakfast Fax”, the grunge rocker asked a receptionist at the hotel to fax it to Love for him. When she asked what she should

do with the original, Cobain replied that she could keep it as a souvenir.

In the letter, Cobain writes, “Out of all the times I’ve been on acid, I’ve never been able to hallucinate with such repetitive control.

“I’m hallucinating at will, over and over again in this English shoebox with pastel curtains and normal little victorian lamps and drawers. It’s all too normal and impossible to explain. I’m not very drunk. It’s like controlled bedspins and I’m the exorcist.”

He continues, “I really do care but I’m not very convincing. He’s sad. I’m sad. My throat is a swollen tumour, Blood sausage, colon. I puke air after coughing. It was morning by the time I fell asleep after talking to you. 200 lbs. I thought of a great idea for our video. Oh forget it.”

Cobain ends the letter saying, “Well, gotta go, I have a crusade to run. We watched top of the pops tonight, F***ing brilliant, Love Kurd.”

Nirvana’s performance on Top Of The Pops when the band mocked a lip-synching version of Smells Like Teen Spirit helped establish the Seattle grunge rockers in the UK.

Cobain killed himself on April 5, 1994. The letter will be auctioned on December 17.
