Description

ALS signed “Chet Gould,” one page, 8.5 x 11, illustrated Dick Tracy letterhead, September 23, 1961. Handwritten letter to television personality Joe Bolton, host of The Dick Tracy Show. In full: "Many, many thanks for your letter & the cheering rating news. Edna & I enjoyed so much meeting you in N.Y. and apparently you have supplied the touch the Dick Tracy Show needed to smash it over. Congratulations Joe, and keep 'er up!" In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Gould's own hand, incorporating his full name in the return address area.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
