Lot 144
Getty, J. Paul. Two Typed Letters Signed "Paul" to his fifth wife Teddy. One is addressed to "Darling," 1 p., 7¾"x5¾", n.p., 1944 Mar. 14, and states that he is sending a check special delivery to her for her fur jacket; he adds, "I hope to see you very soon and you can't imagine how much pleasure it will give me." The second is to "Dearest Teddy," 1 p., 10"x8", Sutton Place, Guildford, Surrey, 1966 Oct. 24. Eight years after their divorce, he thanks her for a "handsome photo of me. I wish I looked like it now. As of today I have a long white beard which reaches nearly to my knees!…." With two Christmas Cards Signed "Paul," n.p., n.d. Fine. Both are common, inexpensive cards, but one is printed "from J. Paul Getty." Cards printed with his name were sent to people Getty liked; for everyone else, he saved the expense of printing.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
