It's always nice to see something about oneself in print. Thank you again. But next time mention my name please. Friends sent me clippings from all over town. Yes Louis I've been here at the Gay 90s for ~7 years now- Quite a run isn't it. I've even out lasted Bill Hardy, who you know has retired, I get mail from Burns every once in a while. The Gang at the club all say "Hello" to you & my best personal regards to you and again thanks". Bill Lorraine was a vaudeville performer and actor. He was an early partner of comedian George Burns. The two had a song and dance act but it never gained popularity.

Lightly toned. Corners rounded. Pencil note (unknown hand) near letterhead and circling signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
