TLS signed “F. H. Yost,” one page, 8.5 x 11, August 25, 1943. Letter to Minnesota stand-out and Heisman Trophy winner Bruce Smith. In part, “You have been awarded the All-Star Most Valuable Player Trophy. We of Michigan had plenty of evidence of your very outstanding ability as a football player, and your father before you, Lucius Smith, was a worthy opponent of ours on the great Minnesota team of 1910. Michigan, however, has no intention of allowing Minnesota to become the permanent home of ‘The Little Brown Jug.’” Staple hole to top left and some scattered soiling and creasing, otherwise fine condition.
