TLS signed “Geo. S. Halas,” one page, 7.75 x 11, Chicago Bears Football Club letterhead, July 11, 1935. Letter to Forrest McPherson. In part: “Within one month you are to report in Chicago for football and eighteen days later we play the College All-Stars at Soldier Field. You can easily see that it is up to you to report in good condition. My advice to each of you is that you start at once and gradually get in shape: get plenty of sleep, eat only plain, wholesome food and use a little judgement [sic] in regard to your smoking. If you are overweight, ease up on your eating—cut out potatoes, sweets and pastries and limit yourself to one glass of water at meals…Make it a point to practise [sic] starts, short sprints and jogging, so that you are sure to report with your legs in good condition.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, overall creases, and trimmed left and right edges. McPherson would make his debut with the Bears in 1935 and would be traded to Philadelphia the same season. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
