TLS signed "Stan," two pages, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, January 19, 1960. Letter to Ernest Murphy. In part: "I remember now the news article you sent me about Gleason & Rooney intending to do a film of L&H. Rooney did contact us in regard to the matter some months ago, just being unable at the time to get Gleason, he gave up the idea, as Gleason had just opened a show on Broadway & length of the run was indefinite, especially that it was a big success & could run for a couple of years or so. Had Gleason been free I think the deal would have materialized as Mickey was very enthusiastic about it, he called me several times in regard to supervising the story & production - incidently [sic] is [sic] wasn't to be our life story - just our characters in a regular comedy film…I do know that Babes' year of illness cost over $30,000. They had to sell the home to clear this amount." In fine condition, with intersecting folds, and a staple hole to top left corners. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
