Anyway the serious is all over and I won’t have nothing to do but stay home and play with little Al but I don’t know yet where my home is going to be at because it is a cinch I won’t stay with Allen no longer. He has not came home since the game and I suppose he is out somewheres lapping up some beer and spending some of the winner’s share of the money which he would not of had no chance to get in on if it had not of been for me.

I will write and let you know my plans for the winter and I wish Florrie would agree to come to Bedford but nothing doing Al and after her staying home and takeing care of the baby instead of watching me pitch I can’t be too hard on her but must leave her have her own way about something.

Your pal, Jack .
