In full: "I hope this card finds you. I am now in Sweden and your letter dated 3/8/68 just came to my attention all the way over here. My trainer pick (sic) up the mail that day in March and because of my being out of town, he forgot to give it to me when I returned. He rembered (sic) the day we left N.Y.C. (I am sorry)." Postcard depicts a hotel in Sweden.

In the June 20, 1960 rematch, Patterson KO'd Johansson in the fifth round to become the first defeated World Heavyweight Champion to regain his title. Patterson lost his title in 1962 when Sonny Liston KO'd him in the first round. Lightly soiled, else fine condition.
