About This Item
[no date, c.1940s]. No binding. Fair-Good. Typed single-page letter on printed personal letterhead, signed in ink. Fadiman references a recent telephone call and is offering support for a Private Grace who had been AWOL; according to Fadiman, the soldier had been very ill and had sent a letter that was never mailed. Fadiman attests to the serviceman's honesty and integrity and hopes it will be taken into consideration in any military discipline Private Grace might face. The letter itself is Fair-Good, folded with multiple creases, tears, and wear to the edges. Interesting and unusual piece of World War II ephemera associated with a prominent personality of the day. Fadiman, 1904-1999, was a mid-20th century writer & editor, as well as a television and radio celebrity.
