"…I am grateful for your generous compliments concerning my appearance on the television program of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and my receipt of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award…Since the television program appeared to be running too long, the producer decided to eliminate certain parts of the program, which included the first two paragraphs of Charles Heston's remarks concerning my fund raising efforts on behalf of the Motion Picture Relief Fund…I thought you might be interested in the complete statement which was to be made by Charlton Heston, as well as my remarks which followed. Therefore, I am enclosing a copy of the original approved presentation…"
In a holograph postscript, Stein has added another, more personal expression of thanks. Accompanied by the typescript text of Charlton Heston's speech before the Academy alluded to in Stein's letter, and some ancillary biographical material.
