Though, of course, only a tiny handful of any kind even exist! This one is entirely baseball related. "…Amos Russie (sic) was a fast pitcher his fast curve was his great success…As to Burkit (sic) vs. Duffy they were better than the average Burkit a good batter could bunt hit and fast on his feet. Duffy a smart ball player above the average in the field and on the basses (sic)…" Third and final page sports a closing signature a full five inches in width (for some reason his handwriting becomes enormous on this last page). Original mailing folds, otherwise all NRMT. A spectacular find, surely some of the best Young writing on the face of the earth.
