Babe Zaharias Signed Letter

with rare "Mildred Zaharias" Signature

        This is a lovely typed letter on note sized letterhead from the Whatton Lodge in Gullane, East Lothian, UK. The note from the Babe sends her regrets in not being able to attend, it appears, a golf match. It's signed in the very rare form Mildred Zaharias. Babe Didricksom married George Zaharias in 1938 and most frequently signed her name Babe Zaharias, or Babe Didrickson Zaharias. Very seldom do we see this signature. One of the toughest early LPGA signatures. The Babe died young in 1956 making her signature very rare and desirable. Note is approximately 5 1/2" x 7" and has normal paper folds and edge wear. Letter appears to be typed by another as Zaharias has been misspelled. Rest assured the signature is genuine and is certified by Green Jacket Auctions. and has been entered into our authentication database.
