Quite uncommon typed letter on his personal stationery to fellow actor Peter Hansen, boldly signed in blue ballpoint pen at the close and dated 1974. In good condition. Likable Russell Wade, who was typically cast as cadets and military rookie types in patriotic films of the 1940s, is remembered by horror, sci-fi and fantasy buffs for his starring roles in The Ghost Ship (1943) and The Body Snatcher (1945), with Boris Karloff. He was also noteworthy in the western Tall in the Saddle (1944) and the classic noir Shoot to Kill (1947).
