ALS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, no date but circa 1941. Letter to Jack Warner. In part: “On account of production on this picture I cancelled a Lux radio for which I had permission. Now I get, for the same permission, a show on either the 19th or 26 of May—by which time this picture should have been well over…J. Walter Thomson have kept the 26th for me. May I keep it or not? With regard to the Greek relief I think I intimated to you before that I consider my charitable contributions of such a highly personal nature that I keenly resent pressure…since the North of Ireland, having been well bombed, has not so far received one penny from any British war relief I am henceforth sending my contributions there direct.” In fine condition, with a puncture to the upper left (not affecting any text). It seems that Flynn’s request was granted, as he appeared on Lux Radio Theatre’s ‘Virginia City’ episode on May 26, 1941. A fascinating letter which displays Flynn’s affinity for the underdog and the increasingly strained relationship between him and Warner. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
