TLS signed “Rube,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, November 28, 1935. Letter to a H. N. Swanson. In part: “I am a little ashamed of my behavior since you and Ruth left. Of course, I attribute the Illustrators Show pinch to an act of God. But what I am really ashamed of is the fact that I am going on the radio next week for money. I have a contract for two broadcasts a week…This is going to take up practically all my time for the next thirteen weeks at least and I’m afraid literature will have to wait.” In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner and subtle brushing to signature.
