Any help on this letter is greatly appreciated. Does anyone know if there is any value to a letter like this? It is a 3 page letter from Thomas L. Turner who was a scout for Connie Mack. It was written to Roy Mellinger who played minor league ball from '14-'17. The letter is written not printed and mentions Connie Mack. Here is what it says:

June 17th 19,
"Friend Roy,

Kary--

Perhaps if you made the page scans big enough to read you would get more comment & an idea of possible value.

Fred,
I have tried to resize my pictures in photobucket and nothing works. Anyone who uses photobucket have any suggestions?

On this Board you can import photos straight from your computer w/out a hosting site.

Just rescan your pages w/out resizing them quite so small.

I finally got it figured out. Hopefully these scans will help. Thank you Fred for all your help.

One last bump in case anyone missed it. Looking for an idea as to what the value may be if there is any. Thanks.
