Fan letter from Richard Rodgers

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Richard Rodgers, of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame, sent this 1940 letter to Maggie Case Harriman in 1940. She was the daughter of Algonquin Hotel owner Frank Case and a successful journalist with the New Yorker magazine. This letter is a revealing reflection of how Rodgers came to learn of Cy Walter’s artistry.  This letter is a prelude of what would become a lifelong friendship and successful musical collaboration between the two men.  Rodgers’ fondness for Cy, and his admiration of Cy’s talent, was underscored by his willingness to be pictured with Cy on the cover of Cy’s Rodgers Revisited album.  Rodgers was usually reluctant to be so photographed and did so in very few instances, making his choice here all the more meaningful. (From the Cy Walter Collection.)
