RICHARD MCDONALD (1909-1998) American entrepreneur and co-founder of McDonald's Restaurants. Fine content T.LS. on his letterhead, 1p. 4to., Bedford, Sept. 18, 1985, to Mrs. Hennessey, in part: "...I am always very hesitant in advising anyone to go into any business venture because the mortality rate of new business ventures is very high. I am sure you would understand that I would feel very guilty if anyone lost their money because of my advice. For this reason and the fact that my brother and I made so many mistakes over the years I believe the ultimate decision is going to be left up to you and Mr. Hennessey...The only advice I give anyone is be sure to check everything out very carefully before you invest a single dollar... ". Light offsetting to edges, otherwise very good. $300-400
