This interesting letter invites Babe Ruth to a Boys Club event sponsored by Mrs. Morgan Belmont. Morgan was the son of August Belmont Jr. who not only built Belmont Park, but financed the New York City subway system. Comes with original envelope and clear provenance. From the estate of Joe Bihler, the right hand man of Babe Ruth's agent Christy Walsh and in turn Ruth himself.
