ALS signed “Frank,” two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, personal Beverly Hills letterhead, no date. Morgan writes to Eddie Mannix, in full: “I just want to drop you a line & express to you my very deep appreciation of your understanding of my feelings in the recent situation, & my sincere thanks for your attitude. In a fairly long career in show-business I don’t think I have ever had a manager or anyone that I have ever worked with who didn’t believe that I have always played fair with them. I have a happy & sometimes unhappy faculty of being able to see the other fellows point of view—almost too clearly—& it tends to make me minimize my own—I’m only saying all this because you must have been made to get the wrong impression of my attitude—& for that I am genuinely sorry—don’t believe it again, please—at least not without hearing it from me. I think you a good person & I’d value a hell of a lot your thinking well of me—& that’s all.” In fine condition, with light toning and staple marks to the top left corners. Vice President of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Eddie Mannix was both a beloved and feared man. Rumored to have had part in the death of his first wife, as well as Three Stooges founder, Ted Healy, and Superman star, George Reeves, who had an open affair with Mannix’s second wife, the executive never faced charges and remained a mainstay in the Hollywood community, counting Clark Gable, James Stewart, and Robert Taylor among his close friends.
