Lawson Little Hand Written and Signed Vintage Letter

Over the 1934 and 1935 amateur campaigns Lawson Little was as dominant as any simon-pure golfer in the history of the game; and yes that includes Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in the conversation. Little would capture both the U.S. and British Amateur titles in 1934, and to put an exclamation point on his superior play he repeated the feat in 1935 capturing both amateur titles again. Over this stretch he would win 32 consecutive matches in the two events. This dominance, which was not previously accomplished, and is most likely to never be seen again, earned Little the title for his feat of the "Little Slam".
Offered here for bidders is a letter written and signed by Little in black ink. The letter reads as follows:

"To Master A.H. Thomason
I am enclosing your letter so that you will understand this note.
Now that we're all in it together we'll
'Put those axis back on their heels'
or
'Put those heels back on their axis'
Good Luck
Lawson Little"
