ALS signed “Alberto,” one page, 8.5 x 11, no date but circa 1981. Draft of a letter to Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner. In part: “I must apologize for being so tardy in thanking you most sincerely for the magnificent color shot of you and me chatting at your luncheon in your mansion…Yes, besides my daily home activities I’ve managed to please most of the networks who invited me to appear with my originals describing them to their viewers who always want more and wonder how old I am! 85 years! I push my hand close to the TV lens and they still don’t believe it! I had spent two years researching material suitable for the book which you so kindly endorsed, thereby neglecting a load of unfinished work! So, when the painting of the Bernadette Peters cover album was suggested I gingerly accepted and the result was admired by everybody. With the memory of ‘my Arma’ and your friendship, who knows—I might even reach the year 2000! Anytime you need me I’ll be there with bells on!” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
