TLS signed “Clark,” one page, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, February 16, 1948. Gable writes a friendly letter to Jimmy Robinson of Sports Afield Magazine concerning an unidentified package that arrived in the mail. In part: “Conway with his usual sharp eye and tired secretary sent along the Lure with no explanation from whence it came so ‘believe it or not’ my being very quick to thank people for what they do for me sent a letter on to the Paul Bunyan Bait Company. God knows who will get it. Now I find that our old friend Chuck Murphy is owner and president of the company, so I hope my letter eventually lands in his hands so he will know I appreciate the Lure. They are beautiful. If I can’t catch a fish with these than to Hell with it. I’ll go back to duck shooting! By the way was it you, wise guy, who sent from Minneapolis with no name attached that drake and hen Mallard? If so many thanks. Will raise my own ducks next year.” Scattered light surface creasing and soiling, a pencil notation to the bottom edge, and slightly irregular ink adhesion to the first letter of the signature, otherwise fine condition. A light and jovial letter, revealing the sportier side of Rhett Butler. In fact, Gable once told Life magazine, “Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have no time to go fishing.”
