Babe Ruth/McLoughlin cover letter (8.5x10") from the McLoughlin Manufacturing Company to the office of Babe Ruth's "agent," Christy Walsh. The typed letter reads, "We herewith enclose copy of form 1099 which we have reported on Babe Ruth. We thought you would like to give this to Christy Walsh or "Babe" that they may report this in their income tax." Although Walsh often referred to himself as a "press agent," he was really the first baseball agent, managing Ruth's finances, appearances, endorsements and public relations. The McLoughlin Manufacturing Company manufactured games, and this Ruth revenue source from McLoughlin was only one of many that made Ruth's ancillary income so lucrative. Ruth had finished the previous season with his record 60 home runs, so his outside income would continue to soar. The letter has some creasing at top left and some browning at the edges, but is otherwise in Very Good condition.
