Original Western Union typed telegram sent by TV host Ed Sullivan to “Joe Di Maggio, 508 Northpalm Drive, Beverly Hills,” one page, 8 x 5.75, stamp-dated August 24, 1954. In full: “We are televising the Darryl Zanuck Story on successive Sundays September Twelfth and Nineteenth. Your missus will be represented in film and naturally, I would be delighted if you and Marilyn would permit me to introduce you in the audience, not on stage on the show of September Nineteenth. I know how shy you are Joe but please do this for me.” In fine condition, with one vertical fold and scattered creases.
