Porter, Cole. (1891–1964). Typed Letter to Monty Woolley with Holograph Lines. "I . . . DRANK PROFUSELY ALL DURING MY ILLNESS & IT SEEMED TO DO NO HARM"



Typed Letter Signed, "C," with 12 lines in holograph, in pencil, to actor Monty Woolley ("Dear Mr. Woolley"), sending a copy of [Laurence Housman's play; not present] The Golden Sovereign, listing some gifts received from a friend, promising to describe his fractures in scientific detail, mentioning visits from Linda and Katie and Sturge, discussing Woolley's success, and advising him on coping with his illness--the same from which Porter had recovered. 1 1/2 pages, 4to, "North Country Community Hospital" stationery; horizontal folds. Glen Cove, 23 November 1937. In part: "The town buzzes with your success, in fact, people talk about you too much and I do my best to head them all off and on to fresher subjects. Of course, all the figures have been distorted so . . . that you are now just making a little bit more than Clark Gable. . . ." The holograph lines read "As you know, I think, I had your little malady in 1928 but only discovered I was ill when it had already reached the advanced secondary stage. My only advice is never but NEVER miss a treatment. You will be tempted to as you will always feel so well. I also drank profusely all during my illness & it seemed to do no harm. . . ."



In October of 1937, Porter's legs were crushed during a horseback riding accident, causing him pain for the rest of his life.
