Jeanette MacDonald Handwritten Letter to Irving Stone, April 1928, three and one-half pages on two sheets of stationary with stamped and addressed envelope, discussing frequency of exchanging letters, her shopping, decorating, weight loss, the weather, her theater contract being extended, and his need for a vacation, all in black ink. Note: As established through letters published in the book Jeanette MacDonald, The Irving Stone Letters , in 1926, Jeanette MacDonald began a relationship with Irving Stone, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and employed at his uncle's Milwaukee department store, The Boston Store. They had met when she performed in Chicago. Correspondence between the two would continue well after their romance ended and covered frank and wide subjects, with Irving Stone saving all of the letters he received from her.
