How about a thread for cool letters?

Lots of interesting letters posted above. I have 2 to contribute,. The first is from Jackie Robinson, responding to a fan who didn't appreciate his comments regarding baseball. The second is from Sandy Koufax to a fan looking to buy a tennis racket from him. Pretty funny.

Koufax lived in Maine after he retired. I have an address for him in East Holden, about 20 miles from this parcel. Pretty cool it is still known for his ownership.

From my father's boyhood scrap book:



Sid Luckman, in case it isn't legible.

Compared to the average autograph from most current players, it almost looks like Mr. Luckman used a typewriter.

Always thought this was an interesting letter in regards to war time logistics.
