Louard-Bruce -1 Sept 62: "All well here. Fagots [sic], jews, fascists, negros, Europeans, and other friends of Peter Cook flock in nightly. Your name has become something of a legend since you left -- Tynan and other critics use it as a term of refernce [sic] in their articles: i.e. "This actors genitals bear little comparison with those of Mr. Bruce."
Louard-Bruce 28 Sept 1962. "Baby, I just cannot bargain over this. A six week season….I'm offering 2-1/2 times what you got before." On the reverse side are Bruce's copious holographic notes for a response and a note to his agent Jack Sobel. "Would you say it was a mistake in management to let me play for such ridiculous money….[With a few obscure references to Charles Chaplin, Lillian Roth, Edward G. Robinson, and "Barrymore's daughter.]"
Bruce-Louard -11-1-62 "…please send me a brochure on the biggest jaguar convertible….i want the BIGGEST AND BEST convertible there is. also, please post-haste the 'fat' pill i asked you for last month. i really want those pills so please be a dear friend send them immediately! Love." The brief typed note ["3"x5"] is an unsigned file copy, but is attached to Bruce's holographic draft written in pencil on the back of an envelope.
