In part: “There are one or two misconceptions that you have about the Box family that I feel I should explain. I have never been a producer but a writer/director of films. Betty Box and my husband were producers, while Sydney collaborated in the writing of many scripts which I directed…Two years ago, alas, he died…Many of the stars in our ffilms [sic] have done likewise over the years, James Mason, Margaret Leighton, Bob Newton, Peter Finch, Kay Kendall, Ralph Richardson, and Compton Bennett among many others.” She added a handwritten postscript: “P.S. Your letter brought back many memories of Hollywood.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds, passing through the postscript. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
