ALS, one page, 8 x 9.5, personal letterhead, March 10, 1940. Response to an admirer. In full: “Your letter came and thanks a lot I appreciate hearing from you. They have kept me busy here lately and will I guess till the Primary is over May 6th then if I get through that I will have more work to do. I am sorry I don’t have a photo right now but I will get some soon and would be glad to give you one.” Affixed to a same-size cardstock sheet. A couple spots of staining to left edge (affecting one word) and slightly trimmed edges, otherwise fine condition. After his baseball career ended Johnson turned to politics—the campaign mentioned here was for the congressional seat in Maryland’s 6th district, which Johnson lost to the incumbent Democrat, William D. Byron. Quite scarce, this is the first Johnson autograph letter we have offered in over a decade.
