Very Truly Yours, Eleanor Gehrig." Letter is 9" x 7" and on Lou Gehrig's letterhead. Provenance: From the estate of Jimmy Donohue, owner of Donohue's Restaurant in Mountain View, N.J. Donohue became friends with Ruth in the 1920s and remained close with him until Ruth's death. Several items in today's sale came from this same estate. This item can be shipped in-house.
