A Naples, Florida woman whose late husband wrote a doctoral dissertation on baseball in the 1950s, is assisting the FBI with the investigation into some 19th century baseball letters possibly stolen from the New York Public Library.

No arrests have been made and there's no word yet on exactly what happened to those letters.
