Interesting 8/17/1953 two-page typed letter signed by Happy Felton in 9/10 looking blue ink to Dodger Owner Walter O'Malley discussing setting up a fee scale for acting as a host for O'Malley's guests. A very funny and biting PS is left at the bottom describing the last visitor's O'Malley had him take care of. He opens saying that they enjoy the Special Services especially "their idiot son who was aged about 34 and 6'3"tall". He apologizes that the son was gashed by one of the players and "lost some teeth when hit by a line drive". He ends by saying "I imagine the McNultys will sue the ball club myself and the manufacturers of Red Barber's "Bowena" as a matter of course. See you in court." Letter itself in great condition.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
