To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Dearest Ange

Well we finally got out of the state of Florida. We traveled 395 mi last night from Winter Haven 5 to 1. I got none for three. It sure was a swell park at which we played. The Philadelphia Nationals trained there during their training season. We ran into a lot of rain on the way down from Winter Haven. We drove all night so you can just picture us in the back seat trying to get a little sleep. We have so many oranges on the floor, in the back, that you have to take your shoes off to keep from smashing them. We play in Savannah Georgia May 2nd, then I do not know where too, as yet. Ange this letter will be a little short but I can't help it because we just got in and I am ready to hit the ole hay. After the game tomorrow night I will write another one. Tell Ed that I won't forget to write him a letter. I hope he don't get sore. Is it cold up there yet? The weather down here is not so warm either. well Ange, I can't think of anything more to write about just now so will close with lots of love and kisses (write soon)

I remain.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
