Babe Ruth typed letter signed dated 7 April 1947 on Babe Ruth stationery. In the months before this letter, Ruth had been hospitalized for throat cancer, one of many hospitalizations he would experience before his death the following year. He received an outpouring of concern from people such as the recipient of this letter, Mrs. Hazel M. Colson, who had written to ''The Babe'' expressing her good wishes. Ruth's reply reads in part: ''My sincere thanks go to you and your family for your very kind letter and good wishes. Having friends does mean so very much to me, and during my recent illness, I had more than ample proof�'' He signs boldly in black ink: ''Babe Ruth''. The 7'' x 9.75'' one page letter has expected folds and minor soiling, else very good.
