ALS signed “Willie,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, personal letterhead, April 15, 1939. Letter to actor and director Nat Deverich. In part: “After leaving you last night I gave a bit of thought to your going east this summer. You know probably better than I the mosquito situation on the east during the summer. They are not conducive to quiet nerves…Even the flies are de trop—at such times and unless you develop a tail and shoo ‘em off like a horse, you are in for plenty annoyance. Dr. Fields also prescribes fewer friends ‘absolute quiet’ will do the trick…I, like the firemen will be on call 24 hours per. Call me at anytime.” In fine condition, with a small separation along central horizontal fold. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. An interesting letter showing a much more gentle side of Fields. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
