Description

Satchmo’s savior “I would not be without them…I use quite a bit of your salve”

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Satchmo letterhead, October 1, 1948. Armstrong sends his compliments to a supplier of lip salve. In part, “I’ve received the Ansatz-Creme…you sent to my home two different kinds of salve (creme) and I like the last kind better. Of course they are all very good and I would not be without them…I use quite a bit of your salve…I play in the upper register all the time…Most of the time anyway.” In fine condition, with expected folds, a few small spots and punch holes to left edge. R&R COA.
