TLS, one page, 7 x 10.75, Seventh Sister letterhead, April 17, 1931. Letter to future congressman Seymour Halpern. In part: “The only answer I can make to your question about what I attribute my success to (such as I have had) is: Hard work, and the luck with me at two or three critical points.” In a postscript signed with his initials, Gillette asks where he can find a photo such as the one Halpern enclosed. He also made a couple ink corrections to the text. A few creases to the top and some chipping to the lower edge, otherwise fine condition. RR Auction COA.
