TLS, one page, 9.5 x 6, August 16, 1954. Letter to author and screenwriter Sidney J. Perelman. In part: “I am a fervent admirer of your stuff and was very flattered when Somerset Maugham in his The Vagrant Mood bracketed us together. I love your current New Yorker series…My private opinion is that nobody reads anything in the New Yorker these days except your contributions.” Light overall toning, several staple holes to top edge, and some scattered light creasing and wrinkling, otherwise fine condition.
