Typewritten letter from Charles E Argast

VERY PERSONAL TO MR WELLES HIMSELF,
NOV. 1. 1938
3642 PARK AVENUE
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
DEAR MR WELLES,
I WANT TO " CONGRATULATE AND APPLAUD " YOUR ASTOUNDING
PRESENTATION OF H. G. WELLES "WAR OF THE WORLDS". I THOUGHT
IT WAS THE MOST REALISTIC VERSION OF A PLAY YOU HAVE EVER GIVEN.
I HAVE HEARD YOU GIVE ON THE AIR SEVERAL PLAYS NAMELY, "OLIVER
TWIST", JULIUS CAESAR, AND MANY OTHERS. I HAVE BEEN LISTENING
TO EVERY ONE OF YOUR PLAYS SINCE YOU GAVE "JULIUS CAESAR".
DON'T YOU OR ANY OF YOUR HELPERS GIVE A HECK WHAT SOME OF
THESE PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THAT PLAY FOR IF THESE PEOPLE WOULD
HAVE STAYED BY THERE RADIO TO GET CONPLETE DETAILS BEFORE
LEAVING THEIR HOMES AND SPREADING FALSE REPORTS ABOUT
WHAT THEY HEARD THIS ALL OF WOULDN'T OF HAPPENED. IT WAS NOT
YOUR FAULT THAT ALL THAT HAPPENED, IT WAS SOME PERSON WHO HAS
LESS BRAINS THAN A BIRD THAT WOULD GO OUT AND SPREAD SUCH
FALSE REPORTS.
STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND DONT LET THEM TRY ANY
THING LIKE PUTTING YOU OFF THE AIR FOR YOU CAN'T HELP IT IF
SOME BODY SPREADS SUCHS FALSE REPORTS WITHOUT ANY PROOF. IF
SOMEBODY WANTS TO SUE YOU TELL THEM IF THEY HAVEN'T SENSE
ENOUGH TO LISTEN CAREFULLY THEN HAVE THEM TURN OFF THERE
RADIO.
YOUR ARDENT FAN AND ENTHUSIASTIC LISTENER,
MR CHARLES E ARGAST
P.S.
WISH YOU WOULD GIVE ANOTHER PLAY LIKE IT AND TELL
THAT H.G. WELLES TO GO JUMP IN THE LAKE FOR ME.
CHARLIE
