Crosby denies that he has been "procrastinating" but states that he has no idea what his plans are and hence cannot commit to an appearance in the annual Santa Claus Parade. He mentions that he is "loath to commit" himself to such an undertaking without being sure of himself and asks his friend to contact a month later. Near fine, matted with a package wrapper for "Bing Crosby Ice Cream" (rare?) advertised as "The Cream of the Stars" and a photo, all framed. $75-100
