Written on Shelby Greys stationery. Writes that due to his health, he will not be able to visit Memphis until September. Will be leaving Randolph due to the lack of Yankees. Mentions that putting on a white shirt is a serious offense, as it signifies that you're in good health and you're therefore put on extra duty. Adds that he never takes off his socks until the bottoms are worn out.
