In full: "I would personally like to express my deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your husband. Ken's accomplishments, both on and off the golf course, were exemplary, and his recent induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame was certainly deserved. For me, and a lot of Tour players and fans alike, Ken was the voice of golf. He was knowledgeable, passionate and always a gentleman...attributes that made him admired by so many people. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Golf lost a very special man." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and a letter of provenance from Kathleen Venturi.
