GARBO LETTER TO CECIL BEATON. Autograph Letter Initialed ("G.") in pencil, 2 pp, 8vo, [New York, April 2, 1965], to Cecil Beaton, with original transmittal envelope, light smudging to leaves, upper margin of envelope rough. "Dear Beaty, thank you for your letters. I am in my usual state of 'cursing.' I am having my annual cold since over two months. I wonder why I never seem to be able to shake them off. Maybe because I never had a child or never married or perhaps I am not nice enough. I wish I knew so I would know what to curse. I went to the trouble of flying to an Island to get well. After five days I had to leave. It was so windy that I was much worse than before going there. And now is tax time troubles and when that is settled, I must try to go somewhere for a couple of weeks, out of New York's air." She closes by thanking him for his "practically incalcable" letters. See illustration.
