TLS signed “Hef,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Playboy letterhead, December 26, 1967. In full: “Enclosed is your year-end bonus for your part in making 1967 a special year for Playboy. This check carries my personal appreciation along with it, because without the continuing efforts of talented free-lance authors like you, we could never have built this publication to the very special position it enjoys today. We are proud to have you with us and I know the following years will be more profitable for you and Playboy, than the last.” In fine condition, with a vertical fold affecting the signature and scattered collector notations.
