Dearest Ange,
Just came into Daytona beach this afternoon. Drove over from Melbourne this morning. We have an off day today but play here tomorrow. We had a game scheduled for here a few weeks ago but it was called off on account of rain. We defeated Melbourne 7-0 last night. Bailey had 19 strike outs. Glenn got two home runs. I got one hit out of four times. Still leading the team in batting though. Monday we play in Winter Haven and then I believe we are going to start our way back up north. This hotel we are staying at is only about a block and a half in view of the Atlantic ocean. Daytona beach is right on the ocean. Are you working yet?
Let me hear all about yourself. I haven't gotten any mail from you for four days. I guess it will all be in Winter Haven when we play there Monday. I hope so. How is everything up home? Do you and Dorothy still go over to the L.B. Wilson on Sundays? Is it warm enough up home to go in swimming yet?
Is Glenn sending any clippings home. I want to know when Ed is going to write me a letter. I read the one he sent to Glenn. Tell him that when he writes me I'll write him one. Haven't been able to go fishing down here yet but sure hope too soon. I don't like to go in swimming down here on account of the salt water. It sure upsets my stomach. Well , Ange will have to close with lots of love & kisses, hoping to hear from you soon I remain as ever, an ever, and ever (love) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
