Interesting TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 24, 1958. Disney writes to DeWitt Saunders in Dayton. In part: “Thank you for the bit of Disney ‘history’ which you have sent me. There have been William Disneys in the family background, although this William dates a little early for our records. He may have been a distant cousin from another branch of the family. My own grandfather came to this country from Ireland in the 1840’s, so it is not likely that this man is a direct ancestor. However, I would like very much to keep the bill to add to my collection of family memorabilia and I appreciate your taking the time to send it to me.” One light mailing fold touching signature, otherwise bright, very fine condition. The signature is exceptionally bold and dark, and letters of Disney with personal content of this nature are far less common than those related to business matters. PSA/DNA LOA and R&R COA.
