Dear Chris,

This is your pal from Arizona, Jeff, sayin' howdy. Your letter just come this week and I was sure glad to see it and have one of the boys read it to me. It was mighty kind of your folks to send it along to me all the way from Centreville.

You know, Arizona only come a state back in 1912, so we ain't got the best kind of mail delivery here yet, but we do with what we got. I'm awful sorry to hear about your shoulder gettin' hurt when you was in Hickory, but you're tough, and I'm sure it'll get better.

You been seein' any of this here Miss Dee while you're away from the ballpark? She sounds mighty nice, and good-lookin' too, I bet. Mister Wilson over at the telegraph office can talk with the people clear back in North Carolina, and he says you're on the big team now there in Asheville, and I bet you're showin' 'em a thing or two about how to swat a baseball.

I tell all the boys here you was always the best I ever seen in the whole state of North Carolina, and now I bet you be backin' up my words. Anyway, I gotta go now 'n rustle up some grub for dinner. Say hi to your folks for me, and Miss Dee too, and good luck with your baseball hittin'. You was always the best I ever seen.

Your pal,
Jeff
