The letter reads, in part: "Dear Martin It seems we meet only at award events in Hollywood: we manage a brief hello and then are whisked off in different directions to do our...whatever it is we have to do. In order to avoid the usual actor's chit chat about how one admires another one's work etc etc I've always regretted the lost opportunity to say just that to you." Hopkins goes on to express his appreciation for Landau's work, particularly in Crimes and Misdemeanors and Ed Wood and closes with, "I think what I'm trying to say, Martin, is a big big thank you for what you do .... Thanks. Yours Tony". Unexamined out of frame just as it hung in Landau's residence. In very good condition.
