Dearest Marge,
Well I
finally got mail. Some of it was rather
old but I think I’ve gotten everything straightened out. If your letters arrived here in the order you

telling me that your mother was home from Louis. You said she was feeling a little

another show recently “Is Everybody Happy” That makes 3 times I’ve seen the
pictures but what could I do but see it again.
Oh well I should gripe.
Did Kate
and Jim ever get married or have they decided to wait for a while. That’s something I've never been able to

I’ll have to close tonight. I can’t
think of anything else now.
Always Yours
Ralph
