Rare TLS, one page, 8.25 x 10.75, personal letterhead, October 6, 1934. Gershwin lauds a young admirer. In full: “Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in sending me birthday greetings. I very much appreciate it.” A central horizontal and vertical fold barely touching his signature and light uniform toning, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. By the time Gershwin had celebrated his 36th birthday on September 26, the great American composer had completed Rhapsody in Blue and an American in Paris, and would shortly finish Porgy and Bess.
