In part: “It is not easy to be light-hearted in theface [sic] of chaos, but upon reading your letter it struck me that we should all try a little harder to be joyous. Certainly we will live longer.” He also comments on his work: “We have been having a little fireworks: I changed agents, have a good man, and several things are on tap with the movies. I could use a little of their dough.” The other, signed “Irving Stone,” is a 1971 response to an autograph request. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, light overall toning, and two punch holes to the 1947 letter, and staple holes to the top left of the 1971 letter. RRAuction COA.
