The first of July 20, 1935 to Mrs. Temple expresses, "I am one of Shirley's dyed-in-the-wool fans" and goes on to further praise. The second letter, April 24, 1936, addressed to Shirley, said, "A terrible thing has happened to me. I didn't realize that yesterday was your birthday...". The third letter, dated June 6, 1936 to Mrs. Temple says, "Just before leaving for the boat, I saw today's rushes and I can't help but tell you how wonderful I thought Shirley was in the song that she sings on Frank Morgan's lap. This is the best I have ever heard or seen Shirley deliver a number". Also included are two photographs of Shirley Temple arriving at the 1939 premiere of "The Little Princess" with Darryl Zanuck and her parents.
