Letter to former professional ballplayer Rube Oldring, in full: "It was so nice to get yours with request, and to hear from you in this way. It has been so long since we played against each other.

Mounted and framed to an overall size of 12 x 14.5. In fine condition, with light show-through at the top and bottom from tape on the reverse, apparently used to affix the letter to the mat.
