WALL
(Max, 1908-1990, Comedian and Actor)
Fine Typed Letter Signed "Max" to Tom Crawford
apologising for the late reply but saying it "was solely due to pressure of business - being in the same profession I am sure you will understand. I was very happy to get your letter enclosing the little book of poems which I shall keep in memory of my Father. The story you wrote concerning America is a very human one, and the gesture made to you was typical of my Father who was always a generous hearted man. Unfortunately I scarcely knew him as he died when I was six years old. In my 30 odd years in Show Business I have met many of his old friends ... Of course I know Jean Paul and Christine Johnson very well as they worked for my wife for sometime in her act ... Thank you once again for your lovely letter bringing with it memories to meout of the past ...", 1 side 4to., Empress Hall, London, 18th September
