War-dated ALS signed “Joe,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, May 8, 1941. To Med. In part: “Still pulling my leg, eh? Well, have a good time; I’m thinking that your lighter moments are perhaps limited in these days of stress. Just between us, there may be some surprises in this show,—it is entirely uncensored…I am assured, however, that the wizard is incognito…You are the only man on our list of guests who thought enough of the cause to enclose a check. Even though we might have otherwise considered accepting, this fact would rule it out. Most of our guests were asked on account of their status; you were asked because we would be glad to have you serve with us in the 7th Division. We appreciate your offer, but we can’t take your money.” In fine condition, with trivial surface creasing and scattered spots of foxing along the two horizontal folds. Accompanied by the referenced check, made out and signed by Colonel Owen R. Meredith. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
