Grouping begins with a handwritten letter to Barrow from Harry Frazee, who made one of the biggest blunders in baseball by selling Babe Ruth to the Yanks. Most of the correspondence seems to regard the payment of a loan by Barrow to the Frazee estate. Following letters are of a more personal nature and regard his association with Ruth. One letter is signed by Christy Walsh, Ruth's manager. Thirty-plus pieces in all.
