Description

John Philip Sousa

ALS, one page, 5.25 x 6.5, Huntingdon Valley Country Club letterhead, August 27, 1918. Letter to Marjorie Moody, in part: “A letter couched in the choicest language at my disposal was forwarded Mr. Child in receipt of your epistle. I do hope you will have some weight with the Victor people. I will send their answer as soon as I hear from Mr. Child. My horse Charlie said to me on Monday ‘Where is that prima-donna who sang last week!’ I told him you had gone. He said he thought it unwise for the management to have let you go away…that you didn’t take up too much room physically, but filled a large space musically. Charlie is a very discerning horse.” Light scattered soiling and creasing, and partial separations to the horizontal fold, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
