Preservation
The survival status of The Loves of Letty is disputed. The Library of Congress' American Silent Feature Film Survival Database listed no archival holdings of the film as of 2017.[4] In February of 2021, the film was cited by the National Film Preservation Board on their Lost U.S. Silent Feature Films list.[5] However, in 2014, Stanford's Pauline Frederick site references a "recent" rediscovery of a deteriorated 35mm nitrate print of the film in a European collection that was transferred to the Academy Film Archive.[2]
