TLS, one page both sides, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, February 27, 1960. Letter to Glenn Laxton. In part: “Interesting to read your description of the reaction of your friends at the party, & being so impressed–I guess they were surprised to hear Mr Hardy singing for a change. He also sang in ‘Beau Hunks’, ‘Way out West’ & ‘Flying Deuces’, maybe sometime they will be shown on TV again & you could make a Tape of those–you will probably remember those films…There was some negotiation & discussion to make a film of L&H by Mickey Rooney & Jackie Gleason but it did’nt [sic] materialize, however if was’nt [sic] to be a Life Story, just a comedy using the characters of L&H. It was rumoured that Jack Webb had the same idea in mind, but he never approached us, so don’t know much about it…No, Mr Hardy & I never mixed socially, occasionally only at some Affairs that were necessary to attend together. We each had our own circle of friends, he liked to play golf, horse racing, cards etc. & my pleasure was Sword Fishing, I had a nice boat & was a gold button member of the Avalon Tuna Club on Catalina Island for many years, so of course we seldom saw each other between films. I only knew Humphrey Bogart by reputation–never met him–frankly there were very few of them that I knew personally, just a nodding acquaintance you might say.” In very good condition, with old tape repairs to folds and edges, some corner toning from tape, and intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. An exceptional letter chock full of Laurel and Hardy and Hollywood content.
