TLS signed “Cary,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal Fabergé letterhead, January 12, 1971. In full: "Oh, and I neglected to you, Beebe, that my Santa Claus has joined the others from previous years and will reappear to adorn the house and please my sight next Christmas." Grant adds the recipient's name in his own hand. In fine condition. After being appointed a 'creative consultant' for Rayette-Fabergé in 1967, Grant was elected a member of Fabergé's board of directors, receiving $15,000 annual salary, a rent-paid luxury apartment in New York City, unlimited travel expenses, and the use of the company's private fleet of planes and helicopters, all without ever endorsing a product or appearing in a commercial.
