Still think it's possible "Toots" is around the Salt Lake area and Little Hatch refers to Lake/River to go fishing...looks like it is up a mountain so a natural reaction to wanting to go there would be "like hell I will"

I’m not certain that the same person wrote both.
He wouldn’t have signed off best regards, toots. It would’ve just been toots. At least that’s what logic tells me. Also the transition if it was only one person from the main paragraph to the top left doesn’t make sense. And is generally seen as a reply.
I’m in touch with a Sacramento Baseball Historian who was also puzzled by the Small S. And is completely stumped.
To me the large belt shown is more common for the late 19th century and not often seen in the 1910 range. Though using postcard dating techniques it cannot be earlier than 1907 due to the Divided back. He just looks to be playing in the wrong decade to me.
Also there is another Hatch Lake in Washington state with mention of little hatch as well. And even a Hatch Road In Modesto With a nearby River.
Not trying to add more holes but I just see nothing solid yet.
