ALS signed “Howard,” one page, 8.5 x 13.25, no date. Handwritten letter to “Dick,” in full: “I leave it to you—whichever would be easiest, to form a corp. In a hurry and do the deal in one step, or to do it in two steps as we planned. There is one advantage to the latter alternative, this entire transaction is getting a lot of publicity now. I expect every slightest detail of this purchase to be publicized till hell won’t have it. The mention of a dummy corporation—altho routine to you and me—is just another city-slicker trick-gimmick to the local residents. It is bound to arouse curiosity and create suspicion. Later, we could transfer these assetts to a corporation, and most likely nobody would even know about it. I think there is a lot of merit to keeping this transaction, which is so much in the publicity spotlight, as simple as humanly possible. So, to summarize, if I can borrow the money personally, then I am in favor of my taking these assets personally—exactly as I did in the case of the D. I. [Desert Inn]” In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from JSA
