Description

Jones names his favorite authors—Henry Fielding, Joseph Conrad, and Stonewall Jackson

TLS signed “Robt T. Jones, Jr.,” one page, 8.5 x 11, The American Golf Institute letterhead, November 10, 1938. Letter to an inquisitive admirer. In full: “I am grateful for the compliment you pay me in selecting me as your correspondent. The questions you ask are a little bit difficult to answer categorically. I have enjoyed many books and many authors and also have found many characters in history for whom I felt an admiration. However, if you will take these with proper reservation, I will name Henry Fielding and Joseph Conrad among authors—and our old friend, Stonewall Jackson, if that is going far enough back into history. I am very glad to know of your interest in golf and your early success in the game. I hope very much that you will continue to enjoy it and to play better and better.” In fine condition, with a few small stains near the bottom. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
