April 10th, 1902
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Letter from Percival Holloway to Thomas Grainger
Dear Thomas,
I’m thrilled to hear that you’ll be joining me for the first part of the trip, while Edwin stays behind, awaiting the arrival of his first child. I understand you’ll need to be in Boston by June 5th to begin your other ventures, so Edwin and I have come up with the attached itinerary to accommodate that. As you’ll see, we begin in New York on the 17th of April.
Please make sure to meet me at our boarding house just outside Central Park on the 16th, so we can start this year’s adventure in proper fashion.
Also, I’ve included a copy of the Philadelphia newspapers' predictions for the season. It should give you an interesting glimpse into who the locals think might make a run for the World Series this year.
Looking forward to seeing you soon, my friend.
Yours,
Percival
