Porter, Cole. (1891–1964). "I [will] refrain from giving people an exaggerated idea of your drinking" - Autograph Letter to Monty Woolley.

Autograph letter in pencil, signed “Cole,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 6.75, Granliden Hotel letterhead, July 11, no year. Letter to director and actor Montey Woolley, a longtime friend and confidant dating back to their days at Yale, in full: “I have read your letter over several times. My answer is that not only will I refrain from giving people an exaggerated idea of your drinking, in the future, but also, I deny ever having done so in the past. However, as you refuse to believe this, it’s perhaps better, lest you be contaminated by my vicious tongue, that we don’t see each other from now on.” In fine condition. Handwritten letters from Porter are notoriously uncommon.
