Very rare ALS signed “Lee,” four pages on two sheets, 8.5 x 11, January 2, 1962. A lengthy handwritten letter from Liberace in purple ink, addressed to his talent club president, Max Ducray, in part: “First of all Happy New Year! Yours is the first letter I am writing this year and probably the last, as I don’t write letters. It has a way of getting beyond me—one necessitates another and I really find in most cases I lose friends by beginning correspondence and not continuing it than by not writing at all. It seems I have so little free and private time for myself that it is almost impossible for me to correspond with all the people I’d like to. I’m content to run into them and see them during my travels and since I have practiced this for years even my family realizes this and know that I prefer seeing them and calling them on the phone (or calling me) to writing. George writes me all the time but I have never been a letter writer. So please try to understand that I just don’t write to anyone not even my family—they know this and love me as do my true friends and they don’t need reassurance of my love in letter-form…I consider you a great friend but please don't spoil it by demanding more of me than I am capable of giving—and that includes writing letters." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, the reverse flap of which has been addressed by Liberace in his own hand. Only the second handwritten letter that we have ever offered by the legendary entertainer.
