Description

TLS signed “Jerry,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, November 20, 1940. Letter to Decca Records founder Jack Kapp, in part: "I hasten to acknowledge with deep gratitude the receipt of the blow-ups, which we all enjoyed hugely. When I first had the pleasure of meeting you, I knew you were to be relied upon to keep your promises and this substantiation is of the greatest satisfaction to me." In fine condition. Accompanied by Kapp's retained carbon copy of his reply, and a later unsigned typed letter from Kern.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
