Sacramento, California, August 16.

Friend Al : Well Al I got the supprise of my life last night. Howard called me up after I got to my room and tells me I am going back to the White Sox. Come to find out, when they sold me out here they kept a option on me and yesterday they exercised it. He told me I would have to report at once. So I packed up as quick as I could and then went down to say goodbye to the kid. She was all broke up and wanted to go along with me but I told her I didn’t have enough dough to get married. She said she would come anyway and we could get married in Chi but I told her she better wait. She cried all over my sleeve. She sure is gone on me Al and I couldn’t help feeling sorry for her but I promised to send for her in October and then everything will be all OK She asked me how much I was going to get in the big league and I told her I would get a lot more money than out here because I wouldn’t play if I didn’t. You know me Al.
