Dear Tom,

I just recieved your most recent letter and I am happy to hear that things are well at home. I truly miss you and the rest of the family and cannot wait until this fall when I can return home to see you.

As far as things go, I had a great month here in Lowell. I have been living with a wonderful family along with Jack Callaghan and have become closer to my teammates, especially Duffy Lewis and Joe Wood. The four of us have been together a lot.

We had to say goodbye to Joe though, as he has been called all the way up to the major leagues! The Red Sox were recieving constant success from Jesse Tannehill, Rube Kroh, and Cy Young, but the fourth starter had not been consistent. Smoky Joe joined the team a few weeks ago and is playing well from what I hear from him. He has pitched 5 times, won three of those starts, and lost twice. I hope I can join him soon!

Duffy and I both recieved notice that we too will be moving up. We are going to the Providence squad of the Class A league. Sadly I have to say good bye to Jack, who I have been rooming with all year long. Jack has been a great friend and was becoming like another brother to me. We plan to write to each other and will keep in touch, and hopefully he will be able to join me in Providence soon!

I know you and Dad want to know how I am doing at the plate. I had a more difficult time hitting against the better pitchers at Class B. In 107 trips to the plate I managed to get 31 hits, 3 of them doubles. I walked 5 times and stole 6 bases, but I am still striking out way to much. I am hoping that I can improve on that in Class A.

I hope you and the family remain well,

Your Loving Brother,

Will Ronaghan.
