ARMSTRONG, Louis. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) of 3-1/2 pages. Fine
3-1/2 page letter written entirely in the jazz legend's hand with
interesting personal and show business content on the back of four
8-1/2" x 11" photocopies of his advertisement for "Lose Weight The
Satchmo Way." In part: "Enclosed is a tape [not present] that was
recorded from the television show that I had when I was the Guest on the
Dick Cavett Show, a real live show. I thought that you and the family
would like to have it. I received all of your letters and as always I
enjoyed reading them. So did my dear wife Lucille.... I also received
the last shipment of lip salve that you sent to me. Also the big cans,
which Lucille keep in the Refrigerator. But Mr. Kauffmann, you forget to
mail to me the bill. Please my Dear Friend I am ready to send a check to
you which will cover everything. Send to me the bill as soon as you can.
And I will gladly pay you. Because I am always relaxed when I have a lot
of lip salve. And for God sake, you must make it forever. I went down to
Philadelphia Pennsylvania to do a T.V. show on the Mike Douglas Show....
We got in touch with Mr. Gruner.... He was the agent for Mr. Franz
Schuriz Lip Salve--Ansatz Creme. He's still around.... We send best to
you and your family. Also we wish you all lots of Happiness. Goodnight."
SIGNED as both Satchmo and Louis Armstrong with a large signature. Also
included is the original mailing envelope, in Armstrong's hand, with his
signature and return address on the reverse. Light creases from mailing.
