Four items: A hardcover copy of Bogart’s eulogy delivered by John Huston at his funeral, 5 x 7, with a printed image of an artist’s rendition of Bogart’s beloved sailboat Santana; two Western Union telegrams sent to Lauren Bacall after Bogart’s death, one sent by John A. Bogart, and the other sent by Guy Bogart. Guy’s telegram reads, in part: “On behalf of our family and the Holland Society we join you and the nation in grief at the passing of Humphrey.” The Holland Society of New York was a group formed by descendants of Dutch settlers of New Netherlands, of which the Bogarts were some of the first; and an envelope mailing panel, sent to Guy Bogart, with Bacall’s return address printed in the upper left, as “Mrs. H. Bogart,” done in another hand. In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
