TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, December 29, 1964. Letter to John Hurt of the Curtis Publishing Company. In full: “I'm flattered to be asked to contribute to Speaking Out--but I am going to beg off. Frankly, I don't feel I should take part in this. I am really not a writer and I'm afraid I would be dull reading at best. However, I want to thank you for thinking of me and to take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy New Year.” A mild block of toning over text and signature from previous display, a staple to two corners, small pencil notation to top right, and a thin strip of mounting remnant along top edge on reverse, otherwise fine condition. Speaking Out: The Voice of Dissent was a regular piece in the newly revamped Saturday Evening Post, added to spark controversy. Riding a wave of success in the early 1960s, and with work already underway to develop Disneyworld in Florida, it is not unexpected Disney would shy away from any debate or squabbling.
