Tilden, William Tatem "Big Bill". Autograph Letter Signed ("Bill"), written in October 1949 from Saugus, California, where he was serving prison time on a morals charge. 5 pages in pencil, to Marrion and Bratto Anderson in Hollywood, California. Tilden analyses the reasons Bratto lost a tennis match, saying he was either over anxious or over cautious. In part: "…somehow or other once he gets in a match he forgets how to play tennis….That can only be a psychological block…I do not want him to change or let down until I come home & can see what its all about. I can find an answer of some kind that will at least solve a lot of problems about his tennis….once I am out I can pull your game way up…." More content. With envelope and a photo of a signed picture of Tilden holding a trophy. Fine.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
