Typed letter signed by baseball hall of famer Jimmie Foxx to Bill Hewish, declining a position on the Olney High School Program Committee in Philadelphia, "Received your letter of March 27th regarding the Program Committee of the Olney High School. I'm afraid I won't be able to do what you ask, as being Captain of the team gives me very little time to myself during the day. I have to be at the park quite early in the morning, and then back again for the game. However, if I can possibly make it I will let you know, but I'm afraid it's impossible. Give my best regards and sincere wishes to all the students...Jimmie Foxx." Double matted and framed with a photograph of Foxx. The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by 11.5 inches.
