Default Lest we Forget

Posted By: Rhys

I just bought several items through the Lake COunty Probate office from the estate of Tony Mullane the great baseball pitcher of the 1880's who was so popular with Women that the owner of the Reds started the first ever "Ladies Day" so women could come see Mullane. He was known as a snappy dresser and a "dandy" for his day. This recently discovered letter to his daughter though shows his true nature. He tells her he has received the shirts and ties she sent but he does not wear shirts with collars so she can pick them up and exchange them. Interesting content in some of these letters to his daughter!
