Offseason greetings from the Sox manager
Mr. Patrick O'Farrell
227 Elm Street
Stockbridge, Massachusetts
Mr. James Collins
Manager, Boston Red Sox
Huntington Avenue Grounds
Boston, Massachusetts
February 7, 1907
Dear Mr. O'Farrell,
I wanted to write to you to congratulate you on your fine season last year. The reports we received concerning you from your managers at Richmond and New Bedford all spoke well of your playing skill and your deportment. While there are never any guarantees in the game of base ball, the promise you displayed in your first professional season gives me confidence that you will one day be a contributing member of the Boston American League team.
Your contract has been assigned to the New Bedford club in the New England League for the 1907 season, at a salary of seventy-five dollars per week.
I trust your off-season has been pleasant, and that you are maintaining good physical condition in preparation for the upcoming season. Best of luck to you, as always.
Sincerely,
James Collins
