TLS signed “Geo. S. Halas,” one page, 7.5 x 11, Chicago Bears Football Club letterhead, April 8, 1935. Letter to Forrest McPherson. In part: “I have received your letter and note that you have talked with Manager Yates and Coach Rhoades and that you are free to play anywhere you desire this Fall. Under the circumstances I am enclosing contract in triplicate calling for $90. per game for the first season…It so happens that I have just received a letter from Elmer Greenberg, who played on the Nebraska varsity team at the same time you did. He coached for the last four years, but is desirous of playing football at this time. How did you compare with him at that time. Were you faster?” A few small creases and edge tears, and slightly trimmed left and right edges, otherwise fine condition. McPherson debuted with the Bears that fall, and went on to win a championship with the Green Bay Packers in 1944 under coach Lambeau. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
