Letter to Jimmy Wiseman, in part: "Interesting to hear of King Umberto's present activities. I do'nt know why he would wish to return to Italy, he certainly could'nt want more luxury than he has right now, he has everything that anyone could possibly wish for—he probably misses the Power & Authority he had as King...No, I have'nt read the Lillian Roth book 'Beyond my Worth,' in fact I read very little now as it strains my eyes—my Dr. advised me not to read much, it is'nt good for me. Yes, I have met many interesting People during my career, including the Ex King of Denmark, the Ex President of France, Prince Oolaf of Denmark, was entertained by them during our visits to Europe. I also appeared before the King & Queen & the Royal Family of England, including the present Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh & Princess Margaret in 1947. at a Royal Command performance at the London Palladium Theatre. I did'nt have the opportunity to meet them personally, as after the show Mr. Hardy & I had to return to Paris right away we came over to England specially for the show, we were working at a big Night Club in Paris (The Lido) at the time & were given permission to miss one night to make the trip. There is a book now in preparation covering the career of L&H, it should be ready for publication early next year, the temperory title is 'Mr. Hardy & Mr. Laurel,' but it may be changed." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
