TLS signed “E. J. Flanagan,” one page, 8.25 x 11, colorfully illustrated Father Flanagan’s Boys Home letterhead, August 21, 1941. Letter to MGM executive Eddie Mannix. In part: “When we consider that Boys Town has given some 5,000 self-supporting and self-respecting citizens to the nation, I believe you and I can feel satisfied that our work in behalf of homeless, destitute boys is really worthwhile. What proportion of these boys would have gone into the army of crime I can not say. But, I do know all of them were from the ranks which are feeding and swelling that army. While I am writing you, Mr. Mannix, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to enclose your Honorary Citizens Card.” Mannix has initialed a note in pencil to the upper right, “Acknowledge with thanks.” In very good condition, with light scattered creases and a moderate block of toning to the left side. Accompanied by the card referenced in the letter.
