Your pal, Jack .

Chicago, Illinois, October 3.

Dear Old Al : Thanks Al for getting the house. The one-year lease is OK You and Bertha and me and Hazel can have all sorts of good times together. I guess the walk needs repairs but I can fix that up when I come. We can stay at the hotel when we first get there.

I wish you could of came up for the city serious Al but anyway I want you and Bertha to be sure and come up for our wedding. I will let you know the date as soon as Hazel gets here.

The serious starts Tuesday and this town is wild over it. The Cubs finished second in their league and we was fifth in ours but that don’t scare me none. We would of finished right on top if I had of been here all season.
