Some nice snags here , This not sports but thought it would fit Rich's post about first lady Mrs TR nicely. Its a handwritten letter signed by Mrs Ellen A. Wilson. The first wife of President Woodrow Wilson and one of the toughest of all first ladies signatures to acquire as she died in the White House on August 6th 1914 of "Brights Disease" It was written shortly after her husbands election in 1913 and the content deals with re-decorating the White House. I bought a turn of the century collection of mostly Civil War Generals and Presidents and there were THREE Ellen Wilson letters among them. I had never even seen one offered for sale before. Thought it was a neat "find"
