ANS, signed “Natalie,” one page both sides, 5 x 7.25, personal note card, September 6, 1970. Thank you note to Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin for their baby gift for her first child, in full: “Dear Dealer and Uncle Garson, Everything is gorgeous - I can hang the christening dress on the the hanger and put the bib on over it in case Jonathan or Natasha get stage fright at the christening! Don’t forget you promised to be the Godmother! We love everything and you the most and it was a terrific evening with just the four of us.” Wood called Ruth Dealer as an affectionate nickname related to her role in Inside Daisy Clover, in which she played Wood’s mother. Also, it reveals that, in those days when the sex of the baby was not known in advance, Natalie had chosen both boy and girl names for her baby. Of course, Natasha Gregson [Wagner] was born on September 29, and Ruth was indeed her Godmother. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition. R&R COA.
