Letter to Eddie Mannix at MGM Studios. In part: “I am mailing to the Orsatti Agency today a 4500 word synopsis of a story I have written designed to create a vehicle for Wallace Beery and Mickey Rooney. Victor Orsatti or Frank will hand this story to you personally at my request for never in my life have I sold a story by submitting it through the story editor’s office. It is much easier to try to sell you, then have you go forth and sell me to your colleagues. I wish you would be a good fellow and read this immediately because I am kind of hot on it and excited and enthusiastic, which is something I haven’t been in a good many years.” In fine condition, with staple holes to top left.
