J. Bavasi, president of the San Diego Baseball Company, in part: "I have just seen copy of letter to Col. Burns from Crocker Citizens Bank re Davis.

In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope for the Veeck letter, and a full letter of authenticity from JSA for the O'Malley letter.
