TLS signed “Mary,” one onionskin page, 8.25 x 11, personal letterhead, July 12, 1949. Letter to ‘Buster’ Collier regarding business. In part: “I have been offered as high as 25% world profits for my United Artists release which, of course, I could not accept as it would be considered ‘farming out my contract.’ We have a much more advantageous proposition from Caramelli.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds (the vertical fold passing through first letter of the signature), scattered toning, skipping to first letter of signature, and show-through from the PSA/DNA label affixed to reverse. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Provenance: William Collier Family Collection. RR Auction COA.
