Description

“This is a very fine business to be in—we travel in luxury—they pay the bills”

ALS signed “Kath,” one page, lightly-lined, 8 x 13, April 6, 1968. Letter to her friend Emily Pierson. In part: “Will find the towels if they exist. Phyllis has her leg in a cast—stepped on a nonexistent step & broke her heel bone.” At this point, Hepburn adds a sketch of foot, with a small fracture near the heel. Letter continues: “She’s had the cast on for 3 1/2 wks—2 1/2 to go—We’ve a fine villa—gorgeous view—& working on the far side of (west) of Nice—on Mad Woman—just finished Lion in Winter (Henry II & Eleanor of Aquitaine) fascinating I hope—Did the beginning of that in Ireland & finished it in Arles—This is a very fine business to be in—we travel in luxury—they pay the bills.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds and some scattered toning to left side. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
