In it, he brings David Mallery up to date on the latest in his life, including a three-day seminar at Arizona State University, and his recovery (over 7 months) from a fractured vertebra. The letter is on two typed pages of Mr. Capra's stationery, which includes a post script. Note that this letter comes from the estate of David Mallery. He was a professor of cinematography at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, from the 1960s into the 1990s. He was a founding member of the AFI (American Film Institute), and a member of the Motion Picture Academy. He was a film critic who wrote many reviews for many publications, and hosted a TV show where he interviewed directors, actors, and others involved in the film industry. Over the years, he developed both working and close personal relationships with many actors, actresses, and directors, including Frank Capra, Charlton Heston and others.
