^Lot 1241 George Cukor

TLS signed “George,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, May 31, 1973. Letter to Alex. In part; “Mr. Shannon’s article in Newsweek is fascinating—but blood-chilling. It’s all the more scary because I’d just been reading a front page story in today’s L. A. Times about Nixon playing footsie with the Teamster’s Union: Teamsters’ Ties to Mafia—And To White House…Also in this morning’s Times (it’s fast becoming my favourite newspaper) another headline: Dean, FBI, CIA Officials Scored By Ehrlichman. In the story he pictures himself as ‘innocent of any wrongdoing to participating in a Watergate coverup.’” Cukor has handwritten the greeting and added a notation to one of the headlines, including “Hoffa.” Light overall haloing to signature as well as the other handwritten portions, otherwise fine condition.
