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.

Letter from Ange dated May 1,1933 (1934?)
(In the top left-hand side of this letter Anne has it dated as May 1, 1933; but, the post mark on the envelope is dated May 2, 1934-- slight oversight of my grandmother's?)
Hello Darling;
Guess who I'm listening to, Yep, your right Ben Bernie "The ole Maestro". Arline Judge, Alison Shipworth and some other movie stars are speaking. I just finished working a cross word puzzle, that is all that I could do of it.
Sunday Dot came over and we went over on 12th St. to watch Ed and Bob play ball then we went up to the strand and saw some pictures that Joan Blondell, and Pat O'Brien played in, it was real good. we came home and washed up a bit and left right away for Covington. We went to the Liberty to see Convention City with Joan Blondell, Dick Powell and Guy Kibbee it was swell.There wasn't a good picture in Cincy. George Arliss, Wallace Berry and all "goofy" players like them were over there.
I went on the Moonlite last nite with Dot and Mary Ricker and Arline Steinhauer. We had a swell time. The boat was packed you could hardly dance.
Your Dad gave me that circular yesterday. The one you sent today is kind of "spiffy" isn't it? Does every town have circulars printed that you play in? Well Glenn does hit that apple once in while doesn't he. Was there anyone on base when he hit either home run?
Guy, I heard that "Murph" Callery is supposed to be sent home for going out with a girl. Is that right? Sis Hitty told me, she said that Deaver wrote "Yip" and told him. I guess that it's just another rumor that's out. If Agnes hears that it will be too tight for "Murph" she'll catch the next train for Florida.
I ['ll] be so glad when you get back, are you glad that you're coming home? I guess not.
Guy I don't know what's wrong that you're not getting any mail from me. I sure write you plenty of letters.
Glenn hasn't been sending any clippings home lately. He sent some home at first. he sent tha big write up that "Tiny" got about inhaling sandwiches and drinking "coca cola" bottle and all. We let your Dad take it home to let your Mother read. You didn't send that one home.
Ed wrote you a letter over a week ago. I don't guess that you received that one either.
Stay out of the water if it makes you sick. The team can't afford you to be sick can they. Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ange
(over)
P.S. Don't forget to send me a picture
Are you listening
oodles of love and kisses for you
Just me
Johnny Kinsella took all of opur clippings including the two circulars and put them up on his "Bulletin Board" up in the salon [saloon?] He's going to take good care of them and give them back so he said. He better. Thank's a lot for the circular. Well I think I told you about all the news & gossip that I can think of right now so I close. about time isn't it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
