May 23, 1934

Guy Daines is traveling with the Kentucky Colonels playing in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on May 23 1934.

He writes:

Dearest Ange,
Arrived here in Sioux falls S.D. this morning about 7'oclock. We drove all night from Marshaltown Iowa a distance of about 320 miles. haven't received any mail from you as yet but hope too soon. We defeated Marshaltown Iowa 13-2 and defeated Sioux falls, S.D. tonight 3-2. It sure is cold up here in South Dakota. The people that watch the games stay in their machines. we are not very far from the Black Hills of South Dakota where there are quite a few tribes of Indians living on gov. reservations. I sure wish I could see them. Since we left home Sunday afternoon we have traveled close to 1500 miles. Every night we have a long pimp to make and hardly get any sleep. Reedy told us we have only short pimps to make. He aught to be along on these "short pimps" himself. Johnny got a telegraph this afternoon from Reedy sending us all the way to Huntington Ind. for Friday night. It is only a "short pimp" of about 700 or 800 miles. We will only be about 200 miles from Cincinnati when we get there, if we do. We have to travel all the way across Iowa, Illinois and almost all of Indiana. If he sends us back up here the next day we ought to tell him to go to hell and come home. I am writing this letter from the Lincoln Hotel here in Sioux Falls. I have just come back from the ball game. How's the weather up home? it couldn't be any colder than it is up here. Well Ange I haven't anything else to write about just now so I guess I'll have to close hoping to hear from you soon

Love & kisses
