ALS signed “Mr. B,” three pages both sides, 5.75 x 8, Ashcombe House letterhead. Letter to a friend. In part: ”They say British pictures are getting better but I haven't seen Henry 8 yet & have heard many complaints about that—I have had a very eventful time since the very eventful holiday…My brother Reggie was killed one night by an Underground Train & there was a terrible upset about that—Though there seemed absolutely no possible explanation for him doing so the coroner brought in a verdict that Reggie killed himself but I am convinced that he never worried & at the time as always was in the best spirits…It has been terrible for my parents & it now means that for a bit I must look after them more & see that occasionally they go out to theatres as it is bad for them to sit & brood—it will also make it difficult for me to get away from living at home for the next 2 years & I had vaguely thought life would be much easier if I had my own abode in which to work…There is the vaguest idea in the back of my mind that I might go to China…if I can get some definite job to photograph in Hollywood on my way—but now the stars soar to New York so often on vacation that they can nearly all be photographed there.“ Central vertical and horizontal folds, staple holes to the upper right corner, and a few areas of the text underlined in red ballpoint, otherwise fine condition.
