Giles, thanking Reese for his contribution to the League as well as baseball. Although the first part of the letter expresses mixed emotions regarding Pee Wee’s decision to enter radio and television, Giles ultimately extends a fond blessing to Reese: “Pee Wee, you have made a great contribution to the National League, not only to your team… but to the whole game of baseball as well. You made this contribution as a player, later as a coach but mostly as a true sportsman and gentleman. I am glad your new work is not completely divorced from the game of baseball itself. You will still be in it, even though indirectly. For that I am glad. I am sure you will do the same fine job… as you have in all the other [positions] and you have my sincere wishes for success and happiness.” Signed by both Reese and Giles at the bottom. Letter is typed on “The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs Carew Tower Cincinnati, Ohio” stationary (6x8”). Staining mostly to the verso, comes through slightly on the front edges. Letter is folded in the middle, o/w in NRMT condition. Two important documents defining the end of an unforgettable era in Dodgers history.
