ALS signed “Every Body’s Wop,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Ambassador Hotels letterhead, no date. Short letter to Jerry Lewis, addressed “Dear Jew.” Sinatra writes: “Foist, Happy New Year! Yesterday on the way Depot. Depot? We passed a store where this was in the window. So I brung it to you. I love ya. Every Body’s Wop.” Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope, addressed in Sinatra’s hand, “Mr. Jerry Lewis,” and signed on the back flap, “F. Sinatra.” In fine condition, with a few light creases to letter, detached flap of envelope taped to reverse, and expected rough edge to envelope from opening. Fully handwritten letter and scarce in its own right, this note features the politically incorrect intimacies that could only exist between the closest of friends. Though undated, the envelope bears a handwritten date of January 1976. Assuming that’s the new year in question, this letter preceded the historic reunion of Martin and Lewis—facilitated by Sinatra following a 20-year estrangement between the former partners—on Lewis’s Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Telethon that year. One-of-a-kind!
