Griffith hopes to unburden himself from "the ever threatening sword of Damocles"

TLS, one page, 8.25 x 10, personal letterhead, May 23, 1918. Letter to Mrs. H. C. De Mille, in full: "Have advised all who can to be on hand the evening of June 8th. If I can dig myself out from under the ever threatening sword of Damocles in the shape of scenarios shall be there with jingling spurs. At least I wish you all possible success in your enterprise." In fine condition, with light show-through at top center from a small mounting remnant on the reverse.
