...donate his personal papers. "To back up the request, they said they had the first and second Gettysburg addresses and the Declaration of Independence." Anyway, Groucho will turn over some 300 letters to and from him, including, unfortunately, only a few notes from his late brothers, Chico and Harpo. "I don't think Harpo could write," said Groucho, "but Chico did write me once. I was in Macwahoc, Me., out fishing. Chico was in a crap game in Las Vegas and lost everything.
