Description

“A dreadful cold” during her Broadway run in The Philadelphia Story

ALS on both sides of her blind-embossed 5.5 x 4.5 personal note card, January 30, 1940. Hepburn writes to Gilbert [multiple-Tony-winning producer Gilbert Miller, 1884–1970]. In full: “What a charming surprise. I was thrilled—and now sitting in bed with a dreadful cold they are my only sources of joy. Thank you many times. Yours faithfully….” Hepburn was then in the last months of her run in the Broadway (and later that year, movie) hit The Philadelphia Story. A hint of subtle soiling, and marginal secretarial notations and small rust mark, otherwise fine condition. PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
