An important signed typed letter regarding an important game of chess involving Capablanca playing against his opponent Forseburg. This was one of Capablanca's last great games played since it was in 1941 and he passed away in 1942. He also included the Indian defense moves and the newspaper clipping regarding the game and sent it to his good friend Dr. Antonio Berreraras. Berreraras even helped Capblanca get a day commemorated to him by the Cuban Government. The Cuban Government has designated November 19th as Capablanca Day.
