Babe Ruth Quote

To My Friend John Sylvester, Just a few words reminding you that I have not forgotten my sick little pal. Sorry I couldn't get out to see you but here's hoping this little message of cheer finds you well on the road to recovery. I will try to knock you another homer maybe two today. Best regards from your friend and rooter, Babe Ruth.
