Description

“I have been hurt...so wickedly hurt that I am down—way down—and I’m not able to stand up under it all”

ALS signed “Bill Hart,” three pages, 8.5 x 11, William S. Hart Company letterhead, July 17, 1929. In part: “I had an interview with Miss Latham and earnestly requested her to have the last two paragraphs of the article wherein I am quoted eliminated—it is all very discouraging and has depressed me terribly—in the first place I did not see how an interview on the Roach matter could be written and only consented provided nothing was used or said contrary to my wishes—It never occurred to me that after these years of silence on my part they would seek to exploit—just what I have always avoided. Rosalind asked me not to tell that I had read the article—It was the first question asked—but I kept my word—There is much I could tell you—but what’s the use—if the article proves to be another wallop at me—it will be cruel indeed…But I have been hurt…so wickedly hurt that I am down—way down—and I’m not able to stand up under it all.” In fine condition, with a light uniform shade of toning and some creasing to the lower right. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
