I have attached 6 pages dealing with fall 1870 Tufts Base Ball, untranslated but readable I think. (The full letter is 13 pages plus envelope). In general, the letter mentions all the players, positions, teams played and describes a number of the games. It is written by the club President, John Coleman Allen, to Faber Ashton, who had graduated in 1869.
Teams mentioned are, Harvard, Lowell, Unas of S. Malden, Unas of Charlestown, Somersets, and Unions of Medford.
I have translated it, but would find typing it out difficult. If you can’t make something out let me know.
I would love to hear about anything that might pertain to anyone in the letter.
There is a photo online of the 1870 team, but They are in uniform and the letter mentions they will not get uniforms until spring, 1871. So, I would also like to hear about any photos.
I hope someone finds something of interest here.
Leon, you have me with the photos in the past and I would appreciate any help you can provide again. Thank you AGAIN.
