Letter from Ange on April 12

Addressed to Mr. Guy Daines Jr., Box 83 Newport Ky, Forward to E.L. Varner, Orlando Fla. In care Mr. Reed (this is scratched out)


April 5, 1934

Dear Guy;

Please excuse the pencil for I can't find the pen. You should have been home today, Snyder, Ed and I were cleaning wall paper. You should have heard Snyder telling us what a wonderful fisherman he is. I laughed until my sides ached. Francis is getting a stepmother May the 5th isn't that something. Francis sure is buying herself plenty of clothes forshe knows that when the stepmother takes care of the money she won't get anything. Her Dad will be married on the 5th and on the 6th you'll see a big sign hanging on the front of the house Francis doesn't live here any more." You should have stayed over home last Sat. nite if you wanted to have some fun. Glenn didn't come home until about 10:30 and Boy : he was lit up like a Christmas tree.He said that he was going over to the "Cotton Club" Because that was the first time he had that much money in two years. Mom was frantic for he kept monkeying around until it was about 11:15
How do you like the climate down there? Is your cold any better? Take care of it Guy. Did you get any hits Wed? I hope you did. Write and tell me all about the baseball games. I wish that I could see them for I love ball games when I know almost everyone on the team. Do you and Murph sleep together? You know what you said before you left that you were going to stick to Murph while you were away. I miss you more than I thought I'd miss you before you left. There isn't anything to do in the evenings. I hope that the months go by real fast so that you'll be home real soon. Don't let baseball take the same effect upon you as foot ball did on Al. You know what I mean don't get "catty", "high hat", "conceited", or whatever you want to call it, just be the same old "Guy Daines" that left won't you try?
Your Mother told me to go over to "Fox's" to try to get a job you know, where Marg Styles works I'm going tomorrow (Fri) I haven't worked since last week when I was laid off.
Well darling I think that I had better close. When I start to write I don't know when to stop. I suppose you'll be bored to death by the time you finish reading it.
I close with load and loads of love.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I remain always yours

Ange
PS. I wish you all the luck and success in the world including a lot of hits and runs.
I'm always thinking of you.
love
Ange
