On the day after this letter was executed, Ott was involved in a car accident in Mississippi while en route back to New Orleans. He would spend the next week in a hospital until his passing on November 21st. Thus, it is very possible that this was final letter ever written - and potentially even the final item to be signed - by the baseball icon!
This also makes one wonder if the correspondent in question was ever able to fulfill his hopes of getting his baseball autographed - likely not, unfortunately. In fine condition, the letter has been framed along with an 8" x 10" photograph of Ott and is ready for immediate display. Authenticated by PSA/DNA with a full Letter of Authenticity.
