TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, December 5, 1962. Letter to The Playmakers of Brooklyn, New York, in full: "I was awfully glad to get your card which was forwarded to me from Sag Harbor. You have a good deal of news. Will the news that Tony had a baby girl interfere with his voice? Howie one can expect to be neurotic. Leaning over those drums will do it every time. The best news of all is that Eddie has finally wrenched the mute out of his trumpet. Remember the story I told you about the Negro boy whose grandfather told him he had to do something silly, so he took up the piano. You kids better start doing something loud and silly—the sillier, the better, as a matter of fact. You will get screams of pain right at first, but at least, they will be able to tell you from some of the others. Thanks for writing and good luck." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
