TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Newark International Baseball Club, Inc. letterhead, December 29, 1941. Weiss makes some preparations for wartime baseball. In part, 'We want to retain as many players of deferred classification on our own Clubs as possible for we are going to need them all...Sorry to hear that the war is coming so close to you, but hope that by spring someone will find the U. S. Navy and at least be able to save the big bridges for you.' He goes on to add a short postscript, 'How about adding the Philippines to your territory and scouting a few Jap ball players? We might be beating the other clubs to the punch.' In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
