I retrieved the letters from my bank today and I have 41 of them...some are just cuts or index cards, some are the letters Steen sent with notes from the player at the bottom, some are full letters from the player, and a few are from the wife of the player.

Stan Hack (signed by wife)
Johnny Vander Meer (signed)
Mel Harder (signed)
Charles Buddy Myer (signed)
Frank McCormick (signed)
Harlond Clift (signed)

Joe Moore (signed)
Dick Bartell (signed)
Jeff Tesreau (Letter from Dartmouth AD)
George Earnshaw (Unsigned with a note saying Mr Earnshaw would be glad to sign)
Dickie Kerr (Typed message from Kerr - unsigned)
Jimmie Foxx (signed by Red Sox secretary)
Sam Crawford (2 page letter, signed "Sam")
George Sisler (signed)

Bobby Byrne (two letters - one signed "Bobby Byrne" and the other signed "Robt M. Byrne")
Hank Greenberg (signed)

and the last one was sent to a man named Roscoe Ford, but was meant for Russ Ford. Roscoe got a kick out of being asked for his autograph.

edited to add: I did at one time own the Babe Ruth letter, but sold it to ease some of my expenses on the entire collection.
