TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, October 20, 1955. Letter to Mark E. Brown of the Clover Manufacturing Company. In part: “Thank you for your fine birthday congratulations. Yes, I became eighty years old on September sixteenth. Mrs. Penney claims my mother made a mistake, and that I am not over seventy. However, this would make me very young indeed when I opened my first store, and I would only have been seven years old when I graduated high school! So, I presume the Bible record is right! The answer to not looking or feeling my age must lie in the fact that I have retained a lively interest in the fulfillment of some further goals.” In very good to fine condition, with light foxing and toning to borders, staple holes to top, and an ink notation to the lower left corner. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
