In this image made available Wednesday Jan. 26, 2011, by the University of East Anglia, Donald Hartog and J.D. Salinger, right, pose together in London in 1989, when they met for the first time since 1938. A trove of letters written by Salinger to British friend Donald Hartog reveals a sociable man who took bus trips to Niagara Falls, ate fast-food hamburgers, enjoyed watching Tim Henman play tennis - and claimed always to be writing new work. The letters were written to Don Hartog, who met Salinger in 1938 when both were teenagers, sent by their families to study German in Vienna. They corresponded after returning home - Salinger to try his hand as a writer, Hartog eventually to go into the food import-export business.
