Description: Rare 1936 Lou Gehrig autographed sheet music with period newspaper image/article provenance (Sig. NM/MT, Sheet Music GD) Original 1936 "We Wrote Our Love Song Together" sheet music as written by Mrs. Lou Gehrig (Eleanor) having been signed at the bottom margin with lengthy inscription, "To Cipe-Maybe if you play this for Mick-It will keep him relaxed and away from business.
