Dear Trish,

Thanks for the card you sent me! Emails and texts are fine, but it's fun to get a real letter, or a real card sometimes.

Congratulations on getting everything approved for your transfer to Emory! I know a little bit about moving from place to place and changing plans, so I can relate to what you're going through. It's exciting and scary at the same time, isn't it?

I've never been to Emory. I've actually only been to Atlanta a couple of times, and I went straight to Turner Field. I know it's an outstanding school, though. I hope you're as happy there as you think you will be.

Right now it looks like I'm going to be sent to Double A. That means Mississippi, which plays near Jackson. I just realized I've never played pro ball anywhere but the South, which has taken some getting used to!

The minor league staff is pleased with the fact that I'm throwing more strikes now. Even better, I'm throwing strikes that aren't as easy to hit. Before, it seemed like I was either wild or coming right in some guy's hitting zone. Now I'm hitting the catcher's glove a lot more regularly. If I can keep doing that, good things might happen.

Anyway, I need to get some lunch, and I can drop this in the mail on my way. Please keep writing, and I'll write back.

Bye for now,
Tom
