Incredible handwritten letter is blessed on the envelope with Matty pitching in pen and ink in his "NY" uniform. It is a love letter to Matty on the eve (postmarked Oct 5, 1905) of his "World Championship" and perhaps his greatest performance ever. There's a request for his autograph, and we can only imagine the result if it had gotten there with this simple address. NRMT.
