Clifford Roberts Personal Letter

to Mrs. Mary Palmer Pierce

        This is a rare insight into the personal side of the always-stoic Clifford Roberts. Authentic signed Clifford Roberts letters are important enough (as many are stamp or secretarial signatures); but this is the rare chance to own an authentic signed letter of Roberts in the most personal tone we've ever witnessed from the former Augusta National Chairman.

        This 1959 letter discusses Augusta National and the Masters Tournament with Roberts' former secretary, Mary Palmer Pierce. Mrs. Pierce was one of the most beloved figures in Augusta National's storied history. This impressive letter comes with its original envelope from Clifford Roberts.
