Letter on the right is from Eddie Collins to pitcher Otey Clark discussing draft status.



I've posted this one before. Here is a Mel Ott and others signed Belgium note. The players/writer were on a USO tour during WW2, more specifically during the Battle of the Bulge. Purchased it from the son of the guy who originally obtained the signatures.
