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:
