ALS, four pages two sheets, 7.25 x 10.5, Hotel Dorset, New York letterhead, January 31, 1942. Chatty letter to his friend, Father Murphy. In part: “Just back from my trip which seemed to be a success. I spent Christmas cheerfully in Beverly Hills, where I saw a lot of our friend, Cedric Hardwicke. Marcella will probably be in another summer theatre. Poor darling. She is still, like almost all young actresses, in a chronic state of looking for a new job.” In very good condition, with scattered toning, heavier at the folds and edges, a chip to upper right corner, staple holes to top border.
