Description

"Ronnie" declines to invest in a Broadway production: "We'd do no investing until we'd bought Uncle Sam off our backs"

ALS signed “Ronnie,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, July 10, [no year]. Handwritten letter to "John," in full: "We were very sorry to hear of your father's death and you know you have our deepest sympathy. Words are inadequate at times like these one wishes there was some way to let you know how really much we'd like to help. I'm returning the script (as you can see) which we enjoyed very much. However with regret we have to let the boat sail without us. This is not a decision based on reading the play but was dictated by our business manager. He was more than firm—he was adamant that we'd do no investing until we'd bought Uncle Sam off our backs. We have never been 'Broadway Angels' and had hoped our first experience would be with you. Now all we can do is thank you for the opportunity—wish you the best & hope we'll be pestering you for 'hard to get' tickets this season." In fine condition, with light edge toning.
