On his green imprinted Neuilly-sur-Seine France letterhead which address he crosses out Cortot complains about having never received his correspondent's first letter noting in part rough translation "I have lived in Switzerland for two years so it's probable the postmaster where I used to live is very disorganized and neglected to forward your letters. Since you show interest in my projects and my return to the United States I can tell you that I am having talks about touring your big country during the winter of 48-49 where I have dear and faithful friendships. On the other hand concerning my recordings I just made a dozen recordings in England for His Master's Voice. I would be surprised if you couldn't buy them." Nice music content penned large and bold in Cortot's legible hand. With French transcript. unknown books

ALS 1p 8½" X 11" New Rochelle NY 1958 January 2. Addressed to Donald. Very good. Yellowed tape stain at each corner and one 1¼" at each side. On delightfully corny letterhead of "Clyde McPhatter's Tune Shop" this rare letter was written shortly after his split from the Drifters and the height of his fame as a soloist. A gracious letter to an admirer reading in part: "Hope that you will like the little verse that I am sending you. Very sorry that I don't have any pictures at this time hope when you write again I'll have some on hand. So until then be good." Bold full signature. The alcoholic McPhatter died of a heart attack at age 39 making his autograph material quite uncommon. unknown books
