TLS, one page, 7.25 x 11, personal letterhead, January 7, 1943. In part: “I…was flattered to know that my name was placed in nomination by many of your students for your annual award. I doubt very much I will be selected…I will be here in Chicago with ‘This Is The Army’ in Chicago on January 12th, so it would be impossible for me to attend.” In fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Berlin at a piano. RR Auction COA.
