One-page handwritten letter, undated, signed by Jackie Robinson. PSA has encapsulated the letter and graded the signature NM-MT 8. In his letter, on "The Brooklyn Dodgers" letterhead (Dodgertown, Vero Beach, Florida), Robinson writes to his agent Martin Stone and express his gratitude for all of Stone's help. In part: "I can't tell you how much Rae and I appreciate your help and concern. We both at times feel rather awkward at some of the things we ask of you but are always impressed with what you do and mean to us. I sincerely hope someday we can do something to be worthy of a friendship such as yours. Give my regards to everyone in the office and I do hope everything is working out fine in your new office." Signed simply "Jackie." Both the text and signature are scripted in blue ink. The letter (7.25x10.5"), which has two notebook holes along the top border, displays two horizontal folds and a staple in the upper left corner.
