TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. letterhead, April 6, 1937. Letter to the Managing Editor of the Galveston News-Tribune. In full: “I am having an article prepared for a national magazine in which I should like to show the number of newspapers that wrap their editions with the Tarzan Color Page on the outside. I know that some sixty or seventy papers do. If you are one of them, will you kindly send me a copy of your Tarzan Color Page for photographic reproduction with others. May I tell you how happy I have been to have Tarzan appear in the Galveston News-Tribune.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, several pencil notations to bottom right corner, and some mild toning and wrinkling. Newspapers would often entice people to buy their publication by showing the colorful and popular comic strips on the outside of the latest edition, and Tarzan was one of the most popular strips of its day. Great direct reference to his memorable character.
