Bing Crosby typed letter signed. Dated 22 October 1974, letter on Crosby's personal stationery is addressed to Henry Schmidt, golf coach for the University of Santa Clara. It reads in part, ''Dear Schmidty: Sorry I had to sneak out right in the middle of your talk - which was a very entertaining talk indeed, by the way, but I was overdue down in the City and I just had to take off...I was so happy for you at the function. I thought it was very well done...Schmidty, again I want to tell you how much I believe you deserve the tribute they gave. I hope you continue in good health and spirits for a long time - Always your pal, [signed] Bing''. Single-page letter measures 7.25'' x 10.5''. Near fine. With a mailing envelope from Crosby, but postmarked 1964, so it may not have originally been paired with this letter.
