The note has no place or date and it reads, "Dear Sir, Please do not say to anyone that I have given you an autograph, I cannot spare another & it would inundate me with requests for them." A wonderful pair of signatures!The check is in very fine condition; small tears present on the edges. The note is in very condition; usual folds are present. From the Henry E. Luhrs Collection. Accompanied by LOA from PSA/DNA.
