TLS signed “B. B. Johnson,” one page, 8.5 x 11, American League letterhead, July 28, 1915. Letter to Yankees secretary T. L. Huston. In part: “I was somewhat disappointed that I did not hear from you today regarding Alexander. I had hoped that Scout Kelly would sign him up to a contract that would be satisfactory to the owners of the New York Club. I am confident he will make a very good man. I learned from excellent authority today that Vance, the St. Joe pitcher, will not do for Major League company. With this in mind I do not think you should be greatly exercised about securing his services.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, light overall toning, staple hole to top edge, and some light running to type, resulting in a slightly fuzzy appearance. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
