Description

“Just don’t sit there—sell it!!!”

TLS signed “Rod,” one page, 5 x 7, personal letterhead, March 24. In a letter to Swannie, a famed Hollywood literary publicist, Serling writes, in full: “The attached is The Rack and treat it gently—it’s my favorite baby. I don’t know if this is of importance but the version you have runs roughly one hour and seventeen minutes just as it stands. Its transition to screenplay would not be difficult at all. I would appreciate it if in your mimeoing, you’d add: ‘Copyright by the author.’ Blanche is sending you a note with further explanation as to the Theatre Guild’s hold on it after the production, April 12th. Best regards and just don’t sit there—sell it!!!” In very good condition, with scattered light creasing, light toning, some light soiling, and a few stray ink marks. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
