In a letter dated 2 October 1951 from Vernon Jackson, 8979 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood 46, California addressed to Arthur Shields, Jackson writes 'Apparently, Arthur, we are stuck with McEldowney and can expect no payments from United Artists, and I am sure that getting money out of that bird will be something.' Jackson also keeps Shields informed as to the progress of Shields' daughter Christine who had just started school in Los Angeles.
