ALS, one page both sides, 6.25 x 9, personal letterhead, May 13, 1955. Newman comments on the fan club buttons and the schedule of a fledgling actor. In part, “Again, being a schlunk in my own inimitable fashion, I’m agin the buttons. Don’t know why I have such a fixation-maybe I ought to go to the head-doctor and find out. That’s my feeling anyway. As for T.V. I did the ‘Adventure’ show and was sorry. Found out I just didn’t have the energy to rehearse all day and then do a play at night. Both the play and the T.V. show suffered as a result. So I won’t be doing any T.V. for some time, unless it’s an awful good script. Enclosed is a snapshot…The movie actors have thousands taken during the shooting of a picture, but I ain’t got such a setup.” Some light toning and wrinkling and expected mailing folds, otherwise fine condition. PSA/DNA COA and R&R COA.
