Dear Mom:
How are you today? -- in good health I suppose -- I feel fine too -- it's been a beautiful day today -- the Sun shining -- birds singing all around us -- it's really nice out here in the country -- the fresh air is doing me a world of good -- I feel as tho I could lick my weight in "Wild Cats" -- (ha! - am I kidding!) ---
Already we are playing Baseball -- in fact we have a league started within the company -- so far our team is doing pretty good -- the other day we play the Radio Section -- really was a tough game -- playing fourteen innings before we finally won -- the score 8 to 5 favoring us -- If you dont mind I'm going to do a little bragging -- you see I was fortunate enough to hit a "triple" with bases "loaded" -- it really made me feel good because those were the Runs we needed to win the game -- it's a shame I stumbled rounding the bases otherwise I could of strectlied it into a Homer -- I also hit a two bagger with two men on base too -- so I just could'nt help feeling chesty about it ---
We also gave the "Officers" of our Outfit a lacing -- score was 15 to 3 -- I didn't do so good -- altho I scored a few runs -- struck-out a few times too -- so that makes everything even --- funny thing tho - the English cant seem to understand our game of Baseball -- we had a few watching us play -- I imaging they think us crazy the way we yell at one another -- you see Mom over here they have their own Sport called "Cricket" -- it's a lot different also much slower than our game -- an during the contest there's no noise at' all -- they dont seem to believe in cheering -- whether a player makes a good play or a bad one -- they just applaud -- especially when a man makes a bad play -- rather than call him a Bum or throw Pop bottles -- they encourage him by applause -- a lot different than our custom ---
I imagine we do look crazy yelling at one another during the game -- jumping all over the place an calling each other Bums - + throw him out of the game -- an kill the ump -- no wonder the English think us nuts -- but we do enjoy ourselves regardless of what they think ---
I hope you dont mind my telling you about the Ball game because other wise I'd talk about girls -- and you know how monotonous that is -- by the way -- I have met some very nice English girls already -- insidently one of my favorite happens to be a cute Blonde and her name is "Pat" -- who does that reminds you of? --- Anyway I have a lot of fun going out with girls -- I like them + they like me -- so everythings even ---
I'd better stop this silly chatter right here -- I'm probably boring you to tears already ---
Hope everythings alright at home -- give Al + Jim my best -- and when I can think of something worth while to write about -- I will --- So take care -- God bless you
Your Loving Son
Louis
P.S. Did Al send the pictures yet?
