This week, Profiles in History announced that it will auction “some of the most coveted items in Walt Disney History” at Beverly Hill’s Saban Theater May 14 and 15. Among the items is a letter Disney wrote to Mickey Mouse co-creator Ub Iwerks, a letter many Disney enthusiasts believe was integral in the creation of the beloved cartoon mouse.

Written in 1924 and slated for auction May 14, the handwritten letter implores Iwerks, one of Disney’s oldest friends, to join Walt Disney in his Hollywood studio. Iwerks ultimately agreed and the pair soon developed the idea for Mickey Mouse. Many believe that if Disney had never written the letter, Mickey Mouse would never have been created. The auction also includes a mutual release agreement dated in 1930 in which Ub signs his "right, title or interest" back to Disney for $2,920.
