Screenwriter (1897–1953) best known for writing Citizen Kane with Orson Welles. TLS signed in pencil with his initials, “HJM,” one page, 8.5 x 11, RKO Radio Pictures letterhead, March 11, 1946. Letter to writer and producer Charles Brackett. In part: “I’m a bit late, I know, but I count on you to understand what genuine difficulty there is in getting hold of, first, a typewriter, and then a piece of paper, and then an envelope!…next there’s to find a stamp and some one who knows where there’s a mailbox! Anyway, my point is to tell you and Billy how delighted I am that you received your well-earned Awards from the Academy.” Irregular toning to right edge and lower corner, otherwise fine condition. The Academy Awards referenced in the letter are those for The Lost Weekend—Brackett won for Best Writing, and Billy Wilder won for Best Director.
