Description

ALS signed “Tyrus R. Cobb,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 2, 1959. Letter to Frank Kennedy, Jr., in full: "I have very recently came to Scottsdale, Ariz., 4719 Jokake Road, North. Received your baseball while in Glenbrook, Nevada. I feel much honored [by] your request also I receive a great many of such. Think you should send postage for return of same; I am sorry I have to prompt you, this matter of furnishing return of matter someone else requests over a year amounts to quite a bit, I tried it the other way for a time." Cobb adds at the conclusion: "You can use above address." In very good condition, with overall creasing, and running to the ink, evidently from onetime exposure to moisture.
