ALS, signed “Red,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, January 31, 1947. Writing from Beverly Hills, Lewis sends news to his friend, fellow author, and priest Father [Edward J.] Murphy. In full: “Seven more weeks I’ll be here, working with [AA-winning director] Leo McCarey, who is a darling—quick, intelligent, gay, simple—then back to my farm. Marcella seems very happy with Mike; seems to have a sense of their building together, which is of extreme importance. Can’t you come to the farm next summer?” In fine condition, with light, even toning, usual mailing folds, and a few mounting traces to verso. R&R COA.
