DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, January 24, 1949. The William Morris Agency sends Basie a document clarifying “the correctness of your account as of January 24, 1949, which shows a balance of $1,015.72 due our office, it is agreed between us as follows: That upon submission by you of factual information which will prove that certain commissions have been charged to you in error because of non-playing of dates, playing of dates at scale, or short-payment on dates, but for no other reasons, you will be credited with the amount of commissions which have been charged to you for such dates and not previously credited to your account,” signed at the conclusion and initialed as well. A rusty paperclip impression to the left edge, two punch holes to the top, and an ink notation, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
