TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal 'portrait' letterhead, no date. A typed letter from Muhammad Ali, addressed from 4944 Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, in full: “I was delighted to hear from you. You may not think so, but I really appreciate each and every letter that I receive. I feel good now. I'm in good shape and razor sharp. In case you were a little apprehensive regarding my upcoming fight, let me inform you that this is going to be the prettiest, most masterful upset that boxing has ever seen. I guarantee this, and I couldn't be more serious. Please forgive the brevity of this letter, but I have much to do and must move on. I hope you achieve success in whatever you try to do.” In fine condition.
