with text in full:
"Dear Hal;
I wish to take a moment to congratulate you on your election to the "Baseball Hall Of Fame" However I don't know what took them so long. It should have happened a long time ago. I am really proud and happy for you.
I started to send you a telegram the day it happened, but I gave it a little thought and decided against it due to the fact that there wound be a lot of people sending them at the same time and I wanted be different (I guess ) , but I don't guess you minded getting the cards and telegrams after waiting for seemed to be an eternity. I know thats the way I kinda felt and I only waited seven (7) Years along with Yogi B. (after) we were eligible. Anyway I hope this note will cause a little delayed spark of Joy.
Best Regards to you & Polly from Lorraine and I.
Early Wynn"
Interestingly enough, it took Early only 4 years on the BBWAA to enter the Hall, and Yogi only 2 years so maybe a fuzzy memory recalling it 20 years later in 1992?
