  • Ira Gershwin (American).
  • Dated Dec. 17. 46 and written on his letterhead.
  • One page.
  • "...it took about five months for my brother and I to do the score. Yes, all the collaborators kept in close touch with one another during the creative and rehearsal periods. As to your question regarding the reception of the opus I can only say that I doubt that few, if any, musicals ever received better notices."
