Description

Fantastic array of personal correspondence spanning 30 years

Collection of 11 TLSs boldy signed “Joan,” dated 1943 through 1975, each addressed to esteemed collector, Saul Goodman. In a letter dated January 22, 1953, Crawford recounts a particularly trying holiday at her house, which “was a really hectic place at Christmas with all the children home and no help. Then the virus hit us and the babies were ill all through the Holidays. Then it finally got around to me.” In a letter dated almost two years later, on May 13, 1955, the actress writes, “Not only am I going to Europe, but by now you must have read the wonderful news. I’m so terribly happy, and only wish that everyone in the world could be as happy as I am now, and intend to be always.” And in a letter written in December of that same year, Crawford pens a brief post-script at the bottom of a TLS: “Thank you for your lovely Christmas card.” In fine condition, with scattered light creasing and toning. Accompanied by 11 original mailing envelopes. RRAuction COA.
