Description

Rare and personal Christmas letter from the reclusive Hollywood legend

ALS, in pencil, in Swedish, signed “Kata,” one onionskin page, 8.5 x 11, no date. Letter addressed to “Dearest Boy.” In full, (translated): “This is just a few lines to thank you for the gift I got from you, but yet not opened. When you get back here, you shall get a few Christmas gifts from me instead. It will be, I hope, an enjoyable time. Christmastime, at least it used to be wonderful in Sweden, but you tell me how it was. I wish that I could be there to see it again. Merry Christmas little friend and best wishes to all three of you. Think about what you want in Santa’s Christmas sack.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a small vertical tear to body, and a few wrinkles and creases. ‘Kata’ was Garbo’s pet name from her younger years, making this a highly personal offering. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
