Description

A letter (a-c) from William K. Romero to Thomas W. Temple II, 15 October 1923. This relates to items 13.11 and 13.12. In the letter, William Romero writes that he got a job offer in San Francisco to play a part of Paco in the stage play "Juan Jose." William thinks this will help start his film career. However, he is currently penniless and does not have the money to move north, which is why he would like to borrow $150 from Thomas. The letter is written on letterhead from the Knights of Columbus hall in Los Angeles. There are creases from the letter being folded, foxing on the left side, staining throughout, the last 2 pages have an acid burn, and there is abrasion damage along the folds. This object is in fair condition overall.
