TLS, one page, 7 x 11, personal letterhead, September 15, 1941. Letter to an admirer. In full: “This is to thank you for your kindness in commenting on the article in Cosmopolitan. I am deeply grateful for the intelligent criticism you had to offer. One of the most difficult things to adjust to in the motion picture business is your ‘acceptance’ or ‘rejection’—psychologically if nothing else—by fellow members of your profession. Someone in my position having to bridge the gap between a ‘college boy’ type of role and that of the more mature, finished actor is in a rather tough spot, but it’s a great feeling once you make the other side. Under these conditions diversity of type of role is the best policy—and one of the very good reasons I’m in the midst of ‘Johnnie Eager’ at the moment, the story of an archcriminal of the most vicious order. It’s a great characterization of its type and I’m looking forward to seeing what results we can get.” In fine condition, with a few mild scattered creases and uniform shade of toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
