TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, March 18, 1968. Robinson writes Irene Walbrook of the Bronx regarding his troubled son. In full: “Your letter was so encouraging at a time when we are facing a most serious family problem. It is a comfort to know that people who are not personally involved care and we are grateful to you. We know the only real solution is the love and understanding that we give our son, and it is our intention to give everything we have to pull him through this critical condition. I have faith that our family ties are strong and that with God's help we will come through this crisis. Again our thanks. You will never know how much your interest means to our family.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Fortunately, Robinson’s prediction was correct, as his son eventually became a counselor at the same facility that helped him break his addiction—only to die in a 1971 car crash.
