TLS, one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Oceana Apartment Hotel, Santa Monica letterhead, August 6, 1963. Laurel writes to fan Timothy Dalton. In part: “Thanks [for] yours … with enclosure of L&H book jacket—which I have autographed & am returning herewith per your request. I heard about Mr. Hal Roach, Sr. being on the ‘Today’ program—would liked to have seen it, but the showing time out here is too early for me. I haven’t seen Mr. Roach in about 8 years—sorry I don’t have his present address—I haven’t visited the Roach Studio since 1955—it is now being demolished to make space for a super market. Whoever thought this would happen? It’s pretty sad. Mr. Hardy died in 1957, he was aged 65….” Very faint paperclip stain and a few light wrinkles, otherwise fine, clean condition. R&R COA.
