From his days in Carlisle Pennsylvania comes this fresh to the market gem. Recently came right out of Carlisle- the home of Thorpe. Thorpe handwritten letters with full signatures like this are tough to find. Here Jim refers to sportswriter Hugh Miller. Written from California from his sad Hollywood days, forced to parade as a stereotyped "Indian Chief" - a fresh discovery.
