I see your point, but would like to see the letter in it's entirety
untill saying a definate "yea" or "nay". ..Given the time period, 
(spring '53) a 3-D "back-up" would fit. Even if one did (partially)
exist, it would almost be sure to now be now long, long gone.

Did I mention George Lucas shot his first Star-Wars film in 3-D?
...Just kidding!!
