TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, George Gershwin Tribute Committee letterhead, May 2, 1949. Hammerstein writes to multiple-Tony-winning producer Gilbert Miller (1884–1970). In part: “The fifth annual George Gershwin Memorial Concert … is only a few days away…. It is our hope to increase each year the number of awards to aspiring young gifted composers and upon the amount we raise through this concert will depend how many such awards we can make…. If you cannot attend, let me invite in your name, some wounded veterans from nearby hospitals who would undoubtedly be forever thankful.” Light wrinkling and a few faint stains, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
