Scarce TLS signed “Frank,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, July 28, 1954. Letter to John Harding, in full: "Delayed answering your letter because I hadn't heard about the arrival of the records from Dick Jones until a few days ago. At which time he brought them out here to California. There're [sic] wonderful, and thank you very much. I had a letter from Harry Myers, questioning me on my alleged acts of bad behavior entered into the case by John Mills. I hadn't answered Harry because frankly, I didn't know how to explain it to him. I told him once or twice, in my letters, that I feel the issue at hand is whether or not I was a member of the Millroy Club [sic] and whether I misbehaved at the Millroy Club, etc., etc., etc. I think everything else is completely irrelevant, and has no bearing on the basic matter. Please convey these thoughts to Harry, and tell him I suggest that his line of attack follow that and that alone and we should be all right. By the way, when does it go to trial? Everything is going extremely well for me. I feel wonderful. I hope you and Muriel are both in fine fettle. Don't work too hard on your trip, and when the hell are you coming over here? Bill and Cuddles send their best. Take care." A postscript reads: "Keep me informed as to when John Mills goes to New York. I have a big surprise for him." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and several extra horizontal folds. Harding was the general manager of the National Sporting Club in London, and also acted as an agent in the UK for numerous Hollywood movie stars, such as Sinatra, Ava Gardner, Tony Curtis, and Janet Leigh.
