Crafted on his Atlanta based lawfirms 8 3/8 X 10 7/8 stationary this simple one paragraph letter dated May 16, 1942 is sent to an employee of the Augusta National Golf Club inquiring about a "Chantilly" styled silver dessert spoon. The content of this letter is not exceptional, it is what follows that is seldom scene from Jones in his correspondence a side doodle as he attempted to draw the spoon and a nine word side note in deep bold black fountain pen "not as good as I thought I could do". His closing signature is signed with a beautiful 1 X 2 1/2 inch example of Robert T. Jones penmanship that presents at a "10" and would be one of the strongest to ever reach the marketplace. Two traditional mailing folds remain on letter, and upper left hand corner shows remanants of a paperclip. Lack of secretarial notation indicates that this letter may have been typed by Jones himself. James Spence Authentication letter comes with this item attesting to its authenticity.
