Description

"I appreciate your offer to cook us a dinner but I have an excellent cook now and certainly would not consider upsetting her"

TLS, one page, 5.75 x 7.75, personal letterhead, February 24, 1976. Letter to art dealer and collector Charles G. Martignette, who later authored a book entitled The Great American Pin-up. In part: "I have a very crowded schedule, and am overwhelmed with requests for autographs, so it is quite impossible for me now to autograph all the covers you sent…Again I appreciate your offer to cook us a dinner but I have an excellent cook now and certainly would not consider upsetting her, nor could we come to Boston." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Rockwell's hand, incorporating a second signature into the return address.
