Verner, Jeanne. Important four-page ALS from Jeanne Verner to her husband, Dai Vernon. A deeply personal missive from Vernon's wife in which she addresses the issue of Vernon's absence from New York "…when you failed to put in an appearance, and I didn't receive a letter or wire I became greatly worried.", their finances, "…for if my suspicions are correct we are going to need all the money we can get.", their relationship, "Although I don't believe you miss me the slightest bit, I've been very lonely without you. If you'll notice the telegram I sent, you'll notice a little word near the end which you failed to add to your wire. The word was "love." Affairs must be in a sad state, my dear, when I find it necessary to remind you to send love and kisses.", and an effort to patch things up: "I begin to realize what a "wonderful mate" I picked when I chose D.W.V. – in spite of the fact that you will pay with a pack of cards and pester me about the part in your hair." Two pages, front-and-back, with original mailing cover. Signed "Worlds of love and kisses, Your own Jeanne." Folded from mailing and with several small unobtrusive chips. Good condition.
