Here is the background on this letter:
I met the woman and her husband at a moving sale they were having. They were getting ready to move out west. I bought some misc antique stuff and the autograph book with baseball players that I have listed now. On talking to them about anything else they had and going through my normal list of stuff she mentioned the letter. She debated and went into the house and brought it back to show me. She said her letter had invited Reeve to their home for dinner while in Michigan and that his letter was in response to hers.
She held it dear but said since they were moving and getting rid of a lot of things that it was time maybe for that to be let go of.
She mentioned a price and that she didint want to really sell it but for that price she would consider it. After buying all the other things from her and her husband she let go of it.
Great content for a little thank you note and I am sure you will be happy with it.
Thanks again

Dustin Pedroia was inducted into the Arizona Fall League Hall of Fame on Wednesday and signed a bunch of autographs. I added him to my 2007 WS ball, 2013 WS photo and a bat.  unfortunately the bat didn't come out that great.

Even with the light photo tinting at the upper left, I couldn't pass this one up.

I know he's not the rarest autograph to score, but I love the guy. He signed 2 LPs and a poster for me after his show tonight.

Well, I finally got my hands on an autograph I've been wanting for a long time now: President John F. Kennedy. It's his 1960 "campaign-style" autograph. He had so many variations, but this fits in perfectly with known exemplars in a book on JFK signatures. This came from an estate sale from a house located just a block away from the high school where JFK appeared in Prairie Village, Kansas in October 1960. I'm loving it, and its direct relationship with both national and local history.
