I am sorry if I did not answer yours. I tried to get to each one…please accept this as an expression of my appreciation." In very good to fine condition, with light irregular toning, and staple holes to the upper left corner. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in the year of this letter, 1962.
