He was a recipient of the 1932 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for “Of Thee I Sing” and three of his songs were nominated for an Academy Award.
The letter reads as follows:
Oct. 27, 1957
Dear Irving,
I'm sorry to learn the market hasn't been doing right by you, but you have lots of company including me. Still its nowhere as calamitous as ’29 or ’32; and many of today’s prices will look like big bargains a year from now. Market letter over.
Real estate note: they’re still working on the garden, and living and dining rooms aren’t fully furnished, but otherwise-wise, everything is dandy.
Literary (?) note: no, the book of lyrics isn’t finished but I'm working at it and hope to have it done by next April. Thus, far I’ve chosen about 65 lyrics and have written notes for about 40. (it’s all no cinch for poor perfectionist me.)
Lee’s [Lee Gershwin] sister Emily has been house guesting the past two weeks (a much prettier house guest than you) and unhappily has to go back to N.Y. and work tomorrow. Lee will be following her N.Y.-wards in about 10 days, so you’ll be able to get all the gossip in a couple of weeks at Ye Olde Gotham [The Gotham Hotel]. Me, I remain at Ye Olde Stand but join Lee in sending you love, O.K.?
Ira
