Poem, written specifically for Ashe, reads in part, ''...Then, I read of your Dallas triumph / and the tears of some known / yet unfathomable emotion that / overcame your heart, / I tell you, brother, / 9000 miles became a mere instant / and I touched and wept with you...that one man should love another / across the span of land and time...I love you...'' Letter is signed by Mattera in type. Document measures 8.25'' x 11.75'' and is typed on thin onion paper. Horizontal folds, wrinkling and tears to edges. Overall good condition. With an LOA from Ashe's widow.
