ALS signed “G.,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.75, no date. Letter to Garbo’s unlikely paramour, the noted photographer and designer Cecil Beaton, fondly addressing him as “Beatie.” In part: “It is terribly nice to ask me over it is terrible terribly nice. But… I don’t know what is the matter with me. I was never so tired. Maybe it is ‘Bloomingdale.’ I am thinking now of going only to Calif and stay in a corner. Not that I have a corner but I might find one if I go. And then if I feel better after some nicer air than there is in N. Y., I would try to go abroad later. When all the tourists have gone home. I shall let you know from time to time where I am…Did you ever go to ‘Montecatini.’ Everybody is going there. Wonder if it is good for something.” A couple light stains and show-through from writing to opposing sides of the thin sheet, otherwise fine condition. Garbo and Beaton carried on a tumultuous love affair from the mid-1940s through the 1960s, which Beaton chronicled in his diaries, opening it up to major public scrutiny and speculation. An intriguing letter from the famously reclusive star associated with one of Hollywood’s mysterious relationships. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
