ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 14, 1952. Letter to H. R. Jepsen regarding representation in a legal matter. In full (with grammar and spelling retained): “I would like to ask a favor of you. I do not know a lawyer by name in Minden, after looking the enclosed over and if I should have a lawyer attend to this matter so as to secure my claim to recovery of part of this debt through foreclosure. I would appreciate your turning papers over to him so he could write me also protect me against the disposal of this property by Butner. In explanation, in sympathy, I advanced Butner this money to pays costs and all to appeal his brothers case etc. I am supposing you know of the circumstances relative to his brother which the states penalty has been exacted. If I could recover something, I would be satisfied.” At the bottom of the page Cobb adds, “There is no chance for recovery through Erwin Butner personally.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from James Spence. After his retirement from baseball, Cobb became a successful businessman and major Coca-Cola stockholder—he would have remained financially stable even if he was unable to recover anything from this situation with Butner.
