ALS signed “W. R. Hearst,” three pages, 8.5 x 11, 1921. Letter to David Town, one of his newspaper publishing assistants, written amidst the newsprint and timber shortage of 1921. In part: "These Canadian folk have been telling us exactly this same thing for the past twenty six weeks. In fact your telegram seemed so familiar that I thought I had picked up one of the old messages by mistake…You often say that if a man fools us once it is his fault but if he fools us twice it is our fault. I don't see why we should allow these gentlemen to play ducks and drakes with us any longer. I recommend strongly therefore that we point out to these Canadian gentlemen how patient we have been and state definitely that we are not disposed to delay further." In fine condition, with a small piece of clear tape to the top edge of each page.
