Terrific sentiments on this typed and signed NHL letterhead stationary from league prez Clarence Campbell to the sister of HOFer Frank Nighbor, dated April 18, 1966, with Mr. Campbell expressing his condolences on the passing of Frank, which occurred five days prior. Campbell, who has signed this 7” x 11” letter with clear blue ballpoint pen, expresses his shock at learning of Nighbor’s passing and lists Nighbor’s winning of the Hart Trophy, the Lady Byng, and election to the Hockey Hall of Fame - “an honour which he bore with great distinction”. (Nighbor was inducted in 1947). Preserved in wonderful condition with normal fold creases and one small stain to note, it’s a significant letter from the legendary Campbell regarding one of the game’s early superstars.
