TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, State of Illinois Youth Commission letterhead, November 20, 1957. Letter to "Mr. Norgard," in part: "Your communication of recent date making request to secure my autograph on a painting has been received, for which I thank you. In reply would say that I shall be very pleased to cooperate with you in regard to the pictures of athletes that you have been fortunate to secure paintings of. I do not have the address of Lord Burghley of England whom you are looking for. Thanks again for your great interest in Olympic Games and their participants, I assure you I look forward with a deal of interest to receiving the picture to be autographed by myself, and shall return it to you with precision." In fine condition.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
