George Weiss typed letter signed to Joe Devine dated 11 July 1935 on Newark International Baseball Club letterhead. Weiss signs: "George Weiss". Weiss, then New York Yankees' farm system director, writes to Yankee scout Devine about a request for healthcare from employee Bud Randell, with the original correspondence attached. The letter reads in part: "…I don't like to get into the habit of these things…However, of course, we want the goy in good health if possible…" Two-page 8.5" x 11" letter shows minor toning, else very good.
