Babe Ruth letter to a sick child BABE RUTHNEW YORKJan 15 - 1932Hello FredI have received some very nice reports about you and the nice way you are getting along. Now I want you to keep it up and it will not be long before you will be and running around. You are only eight years now and who knows that some day the umpire will say Freddy Clark Jr. now batting for Babe Ruth — say Freddy? Will that be great or not. Now I want you to keep your fight and think of me.From your friend "Babe" Ruth
Letter from a frustrated wife Seattle, Wash.Sept. 22, 1931Dear Sir:My husband is in the habit of buying a quart of wiskey every other day from a Chinese bootlegger named Chin Waugh living at 317-16th near Alder street.We need this money for household expenses. Will you please have his place raided? He keeps a supply planted in the garden and a smaller quantity under the back steps for quick delivery. If you make the raid at 9:30 any morning you will be sure to get the goods and Chin also as he leaves the house at 10 o'clock and may clean up before he goes.Thanking you in advance, I remain yours truly,Mrs. Hillyer
