The mail from Guy is being sent through a third person, sometimes it is an H. Reed and sometimes it is being forwarded to an R. B. VanFleet in Clearwater Florida. After games are played, Guy is once again on the move to the next location. He has been in Florida now since March. He has written letters and sent home post cards, but these are just not arriving fast enough for the homesick Guy or for the folks waiting news at home. It is even more frustrating for him as other players on the team are receiving mail without any difficulties. Ange at home watches mail arrive from her older brother, Glenn (who plays outfield for the Colonels)and sees that her Mom is receiving mail in a timely fashion, begins to feel a bit frustrated as well. The local newspaper, The Kentucky Post, has been reporting about the success of their hometown team. For the future, it looks like they might be coming back to Northern Kentucky for some summer exhibition games.
From Newport APR 17 10 AM a letter from Ange is forwarded to R.B. VanFLeet in Clearwater Flo.
Dear Guy,
Your letter came this morning. What happened to you, I thought that you died. I haven't heard from you since the beginning of last week? Can't you find time to drop a line evry other day? Write to your Mother and Dad that often even if you can't find time for me.
Glenn has been writing to Mom every other day. Your dad came over a couple of times last week wondering if I heard from you. He didn't know why you didn't write either.
Glenn sent Charles and Jerry each a turtle one is blue and the other is red. Sarah will have a fit when she sees them.
Dot and I went over to the Albee Sun to see "Men in White with Clark Gable and Myrna Loy, it was simply grand. Agnes (Callery's girl) came over home to see the "Miami paper" She sure misses her "Murph" the way she talks "it must be love."
Another romance went to the rocks, Martha and Al split up and it looks as tho it's for good this time, maybe not, for they broke up more than once and started to go together again.
Guy I know that your really in your glory now, down their playing ball for that's your one and only ambition "Baseball". I'm glad that you got a break for once. I miss you here but when I think of what you are seeing and what you are going to see I'm glad your their only I'm a little jealous because I'm not seeing thse places with you. I'm glad the people likes the team, they really must be treating you pretty grand.
I wish I was there with you. Moonlight, Palm trees and you with a few stolen kisses for good measure, what a swell combination. Would you like it? There just pipe dreams tho but we sure would be living a terrible life if we didn't have dreams to brighten it up. There beautiful even if there not real maybe someday some of our dreams will come true. I think that your dreams came true already beinng down in Florida playing ball.
Well I'll have to be closing darling for supper is nearly ready. Let me hear from you real soon.
With love
Ange
P.S. You can collect for the kisses when you get back.XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ange.
I hope you win all your games plus a lot of hits for you and Glenn.
