Description

Fairbanks makes a request of MGM's Thalberg

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 11, personal letterhead, March 8, 1927. Letter to legendary MGM producer Irving Thalberg, in full: "I know that this will be a source of a certain amount of annoyance to you, but I did not realize fully to what extent I had accustomed myself to Mrs. Woods in the writing of my stories, and if you can see where she would be of much more value to me than she is to you, I should be most grateful if you could, without too much embarrassment, transfer her contract to me. This is in line, I believe, with the conversation we had on Saturday." In fine condition, with two file holes at the top.
