TLS signed “Stan,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 22, 1962. Letter to Ernie Murphy. In part: “I too heard the Fair was'nt too exciting, but understand it proved a financial success which after all was the main purpose I guess. I just heard that "Tonnage" died (heart trouble) glad I was'nt invited to be a Pall-bearer.! imagine carrying all that HEAP.!! Haven't been feeling too good, get occasional spells of excessive weakness, no energy at all - am now taking Vitamin B12 shots - special pills etc. seem to help for a while.” Under his signature, Laurel adds an off-color joke aimed at the Kennedys. Joke reads: “A nun in Chicago, looking for an address, got lost after hours of search, was tired & thirsty - decided to stop at a house & ask for a drink of water, climbed the steps, rang the bell, was invited inside & sat down in the parlor - in there was a few dames sitting around in negligees etc. (It happened to be a whore house.) The door bell rang & in walked a regular customer, looking around to pick his choice, he spotted the nun sitting in her black robes & white head gear. He could'nt believe his eyes, finally said: OH NO.!! now those Kennedy's are going too dam far.!!!” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Tonnage Martin was a bodyguard of Laurel’s who stood over six feet tall and weighed almost 400 pounds. He would sue Laurel for unpayed services.
