To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Avalon Hotel Orlando Fla.

Dearest Ange:

Received another of your letters today and sure was glad to get it. We sure are having some terrible weather down here. We were scheduled to play two games yesterday but got rained out before the first one. After the field had dried out a little we played and lost 1- 0 20 innings to the Poinsetta team, Florida state champs. The umpire gave us a raw deal. I scored once on Davidsons (our second baseman)hit but the umpire made me get back to third. The next man up flied out ending the inning. We traveled over to Haines City tonight and defeated there team 11- 1. I got three hits in this game but none in the other. After the game we were invited over to an orange packing house run by a man from Cincinnati named Pusaten [ or Pausatevi]He sure treated us swell. He gave us all the oranges we wanted to eat and then gave us four large sacks before we left. Well be eating oranges from now until Christmas. Whats Ed doing now that he is home. I'll bet he is knocking the girls dead with that tan of his. I had a fairly good tan until I washed and then it all came off. What do you do in the evenings now since I am gone. Does Bob, Ham and rest come down very much. Does Bob get to see Dot Hendricks anymore. He sure likes her. Well Ange this letter might be a little short but I'll close with lots of love an kisses. Hope to hear from you soon

P.S. What did you mean by the cracks of getting "high hatted" Tell your mother, Ed, Art and rest hello.
