TLS, one page, 7.75 x 10.25, personal letterhead, June 29, 1936. Letter to composer, conductor and musicologist Samuel Morgenstern, in full: "I have looked over your Quartet arrangement of "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' and found it a very interesting treatment. I have no objection at all to your doing a similar arrangement for 'Summertime' and 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now.' However, I must let you know that if these arrangements are to be performed, permission must be gotten from the publishers. I am returning your arrangement of 'I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' and perhaps when the others are finished and are being privately played you will let me know as I would like to hear them." Double-matted and framed with a medallion and photo of Gershwin to an overall size of 21 x 18. In fine condition, with intersecting folds.
