TLS, one page both sides, 5.25 x 7.25, Headquarters Third Corps Area letterhead, October 21, 1926. Letter to Colonel Walter B. Wolf who was seeking tickets to the Army–Navy football game. In part: “The Army Athletic Association allots its quota of tickets to members of the Association. The number for each individual member is limited to four. As an ex-Superintendant they allow me a box of six seats. Unfortunately I have already given my tickets to freinds [sic]. I am, however, as a special case, taking steps to get you two additional tickets which I will forward in due course of time. No expense is involved…It was very nice indeed of you to ask me to stop with you but the pressure of my work here is too great to permit of my taking the trip. It should be an excellent game this year as both teams are showing signs of potential strength.” Matted and framed so both sides may be viewed to an overall size of 11 x 13. In fine condition, with a staple hole to top corner and a touch of trivial soiling. The 1926 Army-Navy game took place in Chicago on November 27. Navy was unbeaten, while Army had a single loss to Notre Dame. The two teams played to a 21-21 tie. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
