Boxing Hall of Famer (1863–1950) and the only man to manage two undisputed world heavyweight champions, James J. Corbett and James J. Jeffries. He also produced more than 260 plays, and enjoyed high-stakes gambling. TLS signed “William A. Brady,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, no date. Brady writes W. Colston Leigh of New York City. In full: “In answer to your lecture proposition, I am afraid I cannot consider it. Too much work and small recompense. I should need a guarantee of at least $500 a performance to make it worth my while. Sorry.” Intersecting horizontal and vertical folds passing through his name, wrinkling, an old staple at the top left corner, two small rust stains at the bottom of the page, and show-through from mounting residue on the reverse, otherwise fine condition.
