Dearest Ange,
I just received your letter and sure was glad to hear from you. I thought you had forgotten me. We were rained out here at Orlando last night and also at Daytona beach the night before. The team was invited out to the walkashow here. As we came in about 5,000 people stood up because they were playing my ole Kentucky home. They took us all in the center of the floor and announced our names one by one over the microphone. Frank Callery and I have been rooming together since we left. We sure have a swell room here. We have a bath, shower, two beds, telephone, dresser and etc. We are going to play a double header tonight, here in Orlando, with the Pointsetta team, Florida state champs. Their park here will seat about 1800 people. Sorry to hear that you have been laid off for a wk. I'm glad Ed came home and I wish I was there to see him. Tell him to write to me. I received a letter from home too and I want you to go over and tell them that I received it. From here we go to a town about 37 miles away. "Tiny" was over there the other day and they had the streets blocked for an hr. looking at him. I have been doing pretty good in hitting so far. The first game I got 1 for 4, second 2 for 3, third 2 for 4. I am batting fourth. Not bad eh! I sent some clippings home the other day so go over an look at them. Tell your mother, Ed, aunt, Sarah & husband, Charles and Jerry, Art, Earl, Mildred, Martha, and Francis hello. if I have forgotten anybody tell them hello also. All the boys are getting ready to eat and then we have to get dressed and go out to the ballpark so I guess I'll have to close hoping to hear from you again soon, I remain as ever xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lots of love & kisses
Guy Daines
