TLS, one page, 8.5 x 7, General Cigar Co., Inc. letterhead, April 22, 1935. Humorous letter to a couple of admirers. In part: “This is Gracie Allen writing and the letter is being dictated by George Burns Stop Thanks for your letter comma it was very nice period…I heard my brother tell my mother this morning Quotation marks I’ll stand behind Grace no matter what she does now sign.” A brief postscript underneath reads, “Oh yes put down P.S. say George Burns wants to say hello,” and signed “GA.” Two vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, a mild shade of toning, and a staple hole to top left, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a vintage fountain pen signature, “Gracie Allen,” on an off-white slip, with a secretarial George Burns signature below.
