DESI ARNAZ
Desi Arnaz sends a typed letter to a fan of apology that he was
delayed in replying.
Typed Letter signed: "Desi Arnaz", 1p, 7½x9½. On personal
letterhead. Del Mar, California, 1980 June 20. To William Stanhope,
Albuquerque, New Mexico. In full: "I usually don't take this long to
answer my mail. It seems a box of it was forwarded to me at my house in Baja,
Mexico and it must have traveled by burro. When it got there, I was back in
California so it was then sent back to California, no doubt by the same means of
transportation. By the time it arrived here, I had left for New York and it was
mistakenly stored in my storage area with my music. You can imagine my surprise
the other day when looking for my orchestration of 'BABALU' I discovered the box
of mail. Please forgive the delay and thanks for your letter. Yours very
truly," with postscript: "Please send me your copy of 'A Book' and I will
be more than happy to autograph it for you." Former Cuban bandleader Arnaz
(1917-1986) is best remembered as Ricky Ricardo in the TV sitcom I Love
Lucy (1951-1957), which retains its popularity in syndication to this
day. In 1950, he and screen and real life wife Lucille Ball formed Desilu
Productions, which eventually produced many television series. Horizontal fold
passes through signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
