Letter from Guy Bolton, Nantucket, to June Tripp, 1965 September 4 : typescript and autograph manuscript signed.

Remarking on the death of his first born son, "Dickie", that he "was a fine tennis-player and tore a tendon in his leg in a match still only a few weeks ago; the doctors immobilized his leg with a heavy cast and this caused a bloodclot that went to his heart and so killed him. One has to adjust oneself to these things and I have done so"; expressing gladness that what she thought was an ulcer turned out not to be one; asking about her eating habits and discussing those of several acquaintances; noting the dullness of this letter; wishing he had met Betty Cromwell and noting others who speak well of her; telling her about a farewell cocktail party they gave yesterday; speaking well of Nantucket; informing that he is finishing "Come On, Jeeves" with P.G. Wodehouse and will go to England in the Spring because of it, that he "has high hopes of a production for my dramatization of Mary Stewart's 'Nine Coaches Waiting', which I have managed to write while up here", that Wodehouse's "The World of Wooster" series has been successful on the B.B.C., that "Anya" opens at the Ziegfield on November 29th, and that his novel, "Gracious Living Limited", will be published "in time for the Christmas market"; promising a copy; conveying thanks of his wife, Ginnie, for her thought of her; rejecting mourning; in a postscript informing that they plan to drive back to Long Island on September 13th.
