Description

Boxing Hall of Famer (1883-1970) who was featherweight boxing champion of the world from 1901-1912. Attell later became one of the instigators of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal. LS, one page, 5.25 x 7.25, January 25, 1964. Letter to Ed J. Helzer, ostensibly written by his wife, in part: “As I’m spending the winter in Miami I have no photos here—but have written my man in N. York to send some to me. When I receive them I’ll…send you a couple. Thanks for your nice letter.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope hand-addressed by Atell, who incorporates his signature into the return address field, “Abe Attell.”
