Dearest Dottie,

Hello my sweet and just how are you today? I am fine and hope that all is well with you. I will give you my new address in this letter.

Honey I believe I will stay right here. Today is nice and warm and I expect it is in New York too. Tell my all about the new things back there. Say what you are doing these days. I bet you get a little blue to.

Honey, I haven’t gotten any mail in such a long time. But it has been because I was in the Hash.

I will get all of my mail at once in a few days. Then I can read until I fall asleep Ha Ha. Tell your mother I said hello and sweet I guess that is about all for today. I have got lots of work to do. I must close now with lots of love.
