Newberry Library - Wharton, [George?], Ben Hecht incoming correspondence, 1928

User-Contributed Transcription 2
likeable, but untalented playmate, Charles MacArthur, as a couple of perfect strangers.
So I have cast all reserve aside and send you this unbridled expression of my joy over your success, which however may only be temporary.
If you will be kind enough to concentrate momentarily, I believe you will recall that it was I who first suggested you become a playwright.
Mr Harry Justin Smith, the Journalist, recently returned from New York where he met you, tells us of your enormous [[riches?]]. He and Lloyd Lewis are writing a book on something or other, which thank God I do
