in the Lambs, following a long day
at the studio. II reads:
My own darling Dorothy:

your hair and a little tam you used
to wear.
Dear girl, am so sorry things

you here, but that really seems
Impossible at present as much as

II can't get over how you have
grown up. My, but you do look
sweet, and how I do envy the one
who took the snaps.
WHO took them dear? Was II

Now, sweetheart, there are times
when I would like to send you $40

and l want to be the one to help.
but I feel that I can't do II until
you give me permission to do so.
II ask for nothing In roturn

But, Dorothy, let's be pels. And
I want you to feel as though that
