The reason for this is because
the Marine Ball Team is going to
Oakland to play the Oakland Coast
League Team and they want all the
rooters they can get to go along. But

Did you try to get the Blanco
in San Luis? Well I have to clean
up my gun. Hoping this finds every
one well. I remain as ever your
loving son,

Private Albert Newlove.
