TLS signed “Walt,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, December 11, 1941. Letter to Clyde Forsythe. In part: “I am sending over to you two of Norman’s books and would appreciate it very much if you would ask him to inscribe something in them to my daughter, Diane, who is the proud owner of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. If you can prevail upon Norman to do this, I shall be very grateful to both of you.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Forsythe was an artist best known for his comics and paintings of the western desert, and was closely associated with Norman Rockwell—in fact, it was Forsythe who first encouraged Rockwell to become involved with the Saturday Evening Post. Rockwell had painted eight images each to illustrate the two Mark Twain novels that Disney references in this letter, which were published by Heritage Press in 1936. A terrific association between two of the most popular American artists of the 20th century.
