Mr Cartwright, c/o New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club: Dear Sir, Although we don't have base ball yet here in the Midwest, I have heard about it and it sounds like a great game for the youth of America. To introduce the Illinois area to this pastime, I would very much appreciate your sending me the ball used in your recent game against the New Yorks signed by the members of your team. Perhaps some day I will be in a position to return the favor. Sincerely, A. Lincoln." Estimate, ball and letter, $1,000-$5,000." COA, Coaches Corner.
