Description

“The seconds, as they tick away, seem to add confusion when told of tragic news. Faith in God is our only hope”

TLS signed “Mr. and Mrs. Red Skelton,” one page, 6.25 x 9.75, personal letterhead, March 4, 1957. Letter to a well-wisher. In full: “The seconds, as they tick away, seem to add confusion when told of tragic news. Faith in God is our only hope, so we are praying. At first we felt useless…just another Mother and Father asking for help. Then came the kindness of unsolicited friends like you, whose concern was unbeknown to us…friends who have gone beyond their station of purpose, taken leave of their own problems and offered prayers and helpful information which we are certain will bring around God’s intended goal for our son, Richard. Knowing that you are concerned is proof that God created His own likeness in man because His intended beauty certainly came with your message.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
