TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Barnum & Bailey letterhead, July 2, 1909. In a brief letter of receipt to Major G. W. ‘Pawnee Bill’ Lillie, Ringling writes, in full: “I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your check #101 for $1000.00, which has been placed to your credit.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds that pass through the signature, and small areas of separation at the edges of the folds, trivial creasing, light toning around the edges, and scattered foxing along the left edge. Scarce and uncommon, this is the first documentation from Otto that we have ever seen. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
