ALS, six pages on three sheets, 5.25 x 7, Hôtel de Crillon letterhead, June 15, no year [circa 1963]. Boyer writes to Peter regarding preparations for an upcoming stage production. In part: “I just finished talking with M. Benthall. The script is not yet finished…. It will be sent to me by him or Rattigan as soon as possible—that is as soon as Benthall and Rattigan will be satisfied with the changes…. I need a good four weeks to study the final script before starting to rehearse…. I will have not only to learn a lot of new pages, but also to unlearn a lot of speeches I had memorized.” Accompanied by an unsigned facsimile copy of Boyer’s 1963 performance contract for the play Man and Boy, evidently the production he refers to in the letter. In fine condition, with usual mailing folds, mild toning, and staple holes. R&R COA.
