Humphrey Bogart letter signed from 28 September 1953, the time between his Academy nominated performances in ''The African Queen'' and ''The Caine Mutiny''. Here, Bogart authorizes Paramount Pictures to send his checks to his agent, The Jaffe Agency. Bogart's agent, Sam Jaffe, once took a $100,000 life insurance policy out on Bogart when Bogart's then wife, Mayo Methot, produced a pistol at a dinner party and threatened to kill Bogart if he left her. Letter measures 8.5'' x 11''. Several staple punctures to top producing small tear, overall very good plus condition with a stylized signature from Bogie. With Beckett COA.
