Two items: an ALS, one page, 6.25 x 7.75, Savoy Hotel stationery, no date, addressed to “Johnny,” presumably Paul C. Smith's nephew John, in full: “I hear I have a namesake in you with your friends at Cannes. I hope you will be well very soon—win lots of tennis matches”; attached to the lower left of the letter is the second item, a vintage glossy 2.5 x 3.4 photo of Tilden standing next to a car at the Long Beach Tennis Club, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Johnny, Lots of luck, Wm. T. Tilden II.” Both are affixed to a beige 7.75 x 11.25 cardstock mount. In overall toning to the letter condition. From the Estate of Paul C. Smith, the editor and chief of Collier's Magazine.
