Early ALS signed “Grace,” two pages both sides, 6 x 9, Seaview Country Club letterhead, [postmarked April 8, 1950]. Letter to Nathaniel C. W. Gennett, Jr. In part: "Well, everyone has left to play golf—except Bobby Rea who can be heard all over the club right now getting himself ready to go out—I had settled down with 'A Rage to Live' got through ten pages—then lost my head completely and decided to write a letter…Right now you're probably soaking up all the sun in Florida and I'm so jealous I can't stand it—If this day doesn't improve soon I think I'll go back to bed—They have even convescated the slot machines so there is absolutely nothing to do but drink—and I can't fight that this afternoon—Even my card playing buddies have disappeared—I would even settle for a hot game of chinese checkers but all available players are in the bar—and try to drag someone away from that. For the first time in ages I am experiencing the frustration of having nothing to do—Darling, have a wonderful Easter—I know you will—having all the children with you." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Kelly's hand.
