Nine items: Impressive vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of LeRoy sitting pensively with his camera. Signed and inscribed in green ink, “For Ted, Thanks for all your help on ‘Toward The Unknown’ ‘Bad Seed’ and many others I hope, Mervyn”; and eight TLSs to Ted Ashton, dating from 1956 up to 1976, seven signed “Mervyn,” and one signed in full, on both his personal and business letterhead, sending thanks for well wishes. Some light contrast to signature and inscription on photo, and some light toning to letters, otherwise fine condition. Also included is a sympathy card sent to Ted and signed by LeRoy’s wife.
