Writer (1905–1970) whose more notable works include Appointment in Samarra and Butterfield 8. ALS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, Beverly Hills Hotel letterhead, no date. Letter canceling a speaking engagement at Yale. In part: “I am terribly sorry about having to cancel my engagement at Yale, but today I tried to pin down my producer on a date, and he squirmed out of being pinned. I came out here Sunday to discuss a movie ‘treatment,’ hoping to be able to return East on Sunday next, but this afternoon he indicated that Sunday was out of the question, Monday probably so, and Tuesday was the earliest day on which he would register light—and I don’t treat that. So I sent the telegram a minute ago and I am not very happy about causing you inconvenience, which I probably have done. The movie is, of course, a simple matter of money for the future, which will enable me to do other things I want to do, like speaking at Yale, writing novels and plays, and supporting a wife and child in the style to which I have accustomed them.” In fine condition, with light wrinkles throughout and toning to the edges. Accompanied by the telegram referred to in the letter, dated March 15, 1955.
