Letter from Lillian Gish, New York, New York, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1953 March 6 : autograph manuscript signed.

Writing that she has not "seen or heard from Eddie Dowling" and asking for his phone number; commenting on the death of Stalin and the Eisenhower presidency, concluding "The future looks good for us and your boys. Not for the Commies.", and adding "I am told that the Jews keep Birth [i.e. "Birth of a nation"] from being shown. Silly isn't it."; informing him that her sister Dorothy doesn't like to work with her ("She knows how bossy I am") and that she likes "Queen's encounter", but it needs her sister; asking him if he has "John Brown's body", remarking that she is glad he liked the television program ("They tell me it got the largest response of anything in their five years on the air"), and mentioning the death of Marjorie Bowen and the positive reception received by his book Cavalcade of the American novel.
