Bobby Jones Legendary Golfer
Exemplary TLS
 
SOLD

 

Robert T. "Bobby" Jones, Jr. (1902-1971). Bobby Jones is one of the best known and most accomplished golfers in history. Jones related material is avidly collected by golf aficionados. Among Jones's major accomplishments was winning golf's Grand Slam when he won the world's four major tournaments all in the same year. His life was cut short by syringomyelia, a degenerative disease of the spinal cord and that disease left him completely debilitated toward the end of his life. Jones was a practicing attorney and this letter reflects his interest in language and being able to express himself precisely. He was a well know perfectionist in all aspects of his life. The letter is a TLS on his Atlanta law practice stationery, dated 1955 and is signed "Robert T. Jones, Jr." The letter concerns the books regarding language that he chose to purchase. There is some foxing of the letter and there is a paper clip impression upper left on the letter. The signature is a crisp and dark fountain pen signature in black ink. A receipt for the books accompanies the letter.$OLD
