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

Dear Son,

Newport Ky.
Received your letter yesterday Apr. 12-34 glad you are going so rapidly. Reedie told us you got there Monday night Now for winning them old ball games. I know you boys can do it. I have all the confidence in the world in you boys, Tell old Hienie Bill I wished I had a pair of striped drawers, ask him if they went any place yet. Your Mother an I stopped down there last night and hoisted a couple, Eddie Botts says stay away from the girls down there they are poison. It is snowing up here today, cold as h____. I sure wish I was with you boys to see them old ball games. Reedie showed me a letter from Pittsburgh wanting a four days stand there. I guess you fellows will have so many games you won't know where to go. Ange stopped over yesterday evening said she got a letter, Ham was tickled to death you sent him a card. He was down to show it. I have not seen Snyder. Here is some more of Jack Niebums stuff, it is some games. We were over to see Tannt's last night, her finger is still so bad as ever. She send her love. How do you like the South by this time, I'll bet it's great. Give all the boys our best wishes and regards. We are still looking in the Times Star for that picture. It has never been printed yet. Oak View Jr.'s has a shield they put on their jerseys with O. V. on it it is made out of felt. Will write soon again with loads of love from all of us. Kisses from the Daines
Your Mother and Dad

Arrival

This is the postcard Guy sent to Ange on April 5, 1934. The stamp is another lovely etched image depicting "Chicago Century of progress." It has FORT DEARBORN as the centerpiece, as well as written in the lower middle of the stamp, while the upper left edge has the date of 1839, then in the middle, within a stylized ribbon "U.S. Postage," and then again the date 1933---It's total cost... 1 cent.

Dear Ange,

arrived here Sunday about 3' o'clock.

write later.

Love

Guy

(this is written in green colored pencil) Perhaps, all he could find at the time. It is very unlike him, as he always seems so put-together or orderly, there is sense of urgency, an "air of hurry" about this post card.
