"Eleanor Gehrig once asked Lou Gehrig in her book,'My Luke and I', what the difference was between a player in the minor Leagues and a man in the Major Leagues. Gehrig replied, "One step."
April 22, 1933 (I think she miss-dated this one and meant to date it 1934)
Dear Guy,
I received your letter yesterday (Sat). I'm glad that you write every other day for the time will pass quicker.
I sure had a big surprise yesterday. I was called to work at the 10 [cent] store. I thought that was a thing of the past. They just can't do without me. There was only one thing that was missing Sat. nite and that was you. I even looked for you when I came out, then I happened to think you were miles and miles away from here. You sure must have gotten a tough break in that twenty inning game some umpires are sure dirty. That game must have been something like the game that "Oak View" played against "Kirk Pies" wasn't it?
Ed is house cleaning now that He's home, ain't that something. He just loves to clean.
Bob hasn't seen Dot since the nite we went to the show but he sure wants to see her bad enough. He hasn't the courage to go over. Bob comes down home all the time but I haven't seen Ham since the nite you left. I'll have to close now for I'm suppose to be over at Dot's at 2 o'clock.
You wanted to know what I meant by that crack about you well, the first thing it wasn't a crack I was just asking you not to get "conceited" for that I do not think that it will be becoming not to you anyway for your not that type.
Lots of Love and Kisses,
Ange
