Circa 1930's Walter Johnson hand written letter has a beautiful perfect 9/10 looking vintage blue ink signature. One page letter is in response to a fan who had inquired if there might be room for his son at training camp at Biloxi Mississippi. Johnson tells the man there "are already more boys in camp than we can look at" then gives him several pointers on how he can help his son improve as a ball player. Letter on The New Biloxi Hotel stationary is in outstanding condition with just three folds.

Return envelope is in bad shape and covered in writing but there is a very strong 9/10 looking vintage black ink "Walter Johnson" at the upper left corner above the image of the hotel.

Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
