TLS signed “Larry,” one page both sides, 5.5 x 7, personal letterhead, December 21, 1974. Letter to George Cukor. In full: “Thank you so much for the lovely photograph. How sables become you! Joan’s and my wishes come most warmly to you from Brighton. Joanie’s Saturday Sunday Monday is a delicious Biggst-Hit-in-London. I nearly said it goes like a bomb but those damn things are being the biggest menace London knew since the war, I have been and got unto myself a mad disease called myositis, which means inflammation of the muscles and I am locked in hospital for quite some weeks, having already been here for eight. The cure is slow but they say sure, and so there is nothing for it but to be patient. I shan’t be able to work in any active way for some months and so I am going to do my best to write that book I have been threatening for so long. I hope The Blue Bird is going beautifully and that you are happy and keeping yourself amused all right. I imagine it won’t be all that long before you are through. I do hope it will not be long before we see you again.” Olivier added a couple ballpoint corrections to the front, as well as a note about his ‘active work’: “(My old Fairbanks style, I mean).” In fine condition, with a trivial spot of soiling to the top.
