Dearest Ange:
Arrived in Kissimmee, Florida this morning about 6'oclock after driving all night for about 275 mi. We won the night before defeating Monticello Fla- 18-4. I got one for five. Tonight we defeated the Kissimmee All Stars 20- 1. I got three for six. They couldn't see Bailey or Sroufe so Deaver put "Tiny" in for the last two innings. I haven't received any mail from you for three days. It must be delayed some place or maybe it has gotten lost. Is there anything in the papers up home about us leaving. If there is send me a clipping of what it has to say. This water they have in this hotel smells like rotten eggs. In fact, they have the same kind of water all over the city. It is some kind of a mineral water and is supposed to be 99% pure. I wouldn't give you one glass of our water up home for all of this water there is down here. When you drink it you have to hold your breath and then swallow it right down. Has indoor started up home yet? How is Martha and Al getting along. Have they went back together again. We have a short jump to make tomorrow. We play in Melbourne, about 56 mi from here. Up till now we have been traveling at night and sleeping during the day. It sure will feel good to get one good nights sleep. I ate so many oranges down here that I can hardly look at them. If we want any while we are traveling we just stop along the road and pick some. Well, Ange, haven't much more to say so will close with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Love &kisses

(P.S.)
Hoping to hear from you soon. Tell everybody at home hello.
Tell Ed to write.
Tell Dad that "Freddy Macguire" former second baseman for Boston umpired our game at Monticello. He is still under contract to Boston. He is down there trying to cure his arm which was broken. Glenn met him and shook hands with him.
Tell all the girls and boys hello.
So long until next time,
