Though he was often better at giving advice than following it, Babe Ruth was never shy about his love for children and his willingness to motivate future generations. The featured typewritten letter on Jungle Hotel stationery contains Babe Ruth's inspirational message for students at neighboring Central High School in St. Petersburg, Florida. In the text, Ruth espouses the concepts of hard work, "living a clean life", staying determined to achieve your goals, and keeping a strong bond with your parents. Ruth ends the letter with his iconic signature, adding quote marks "Babe", which he started doing more often in the mid-1920s. Full LOA from JSA.
