Mayer and Queen have some deals on now - Wall Street, I think -
and they may come through all right.

But could you, like an angel, do this for me: Wire me Tuesday
afternoon if you get this in time, to say whether you're interest-
ed, and if you are which of the two propositions you'd prefer.
(Personally, if I were you, I'd rather take a chance on Riggs
than on the theatre.) And I don't have to reiterate that it's
all right if conditions make it impossible for you to do anything
at all about it.

My God, I just remembered you've been building. **You're** probably
borrowing!

Love to you both,

Dear Lynn:

Please forgive this delayed letter
but I really have been up to my neck
in work.

I cannot tell you how happy I was
to hear from you AT LAST. Yes, you
really were naughty but then, I
have the feeling even though you
don't write that somehow you know
that our friendship is a great and
solid, lovely thing. That's the way
I feel about it and I'd like it to
be mutual.

I am sure you have been extremely
busy and I'm delighted about your
promotions and I too am "damm proud
of them."

You must be very happy about "Oklahoma."
The other night, the man who designs
the costumes, Miles White I believe
his name is, droped by with Harry Mines.
He was telling us what a wonderful
show "Oklahoma" is, how exciting it
is etc., and Phillip and I said how
happy we were for you. He said he
understood you were not very happy
with the play. I immediately got on
my high horse and let fly. I hope
you don't mind.

Oh Lynn dear, you cannot imagine how
happy I am. Really, I never new such
happiness existed but then you shall
see for yourself when next we meet.

You say you may be out of the army.
Do please drop me a note and let me
know if you accept the O.W.I. offer.
Do write soon.

Lynn dear:

I still don't believe I've gotten
a letter from you. Was sure I'd wake up and find
that I'd dreamed it but here it is and it has an
address on it so - dreaming or not - I shall answer.

Yes, Lynn dear, I'm delighted to
be in the 'acting business' again. The story is shaping
up beautifully. It was a devil of a theme to transfer
to the screen. I'll be starting within the next three
or four weeks.

I'm so glad about your new plays.
Do you think you have an extra copy of each that I
could read? Because I have a lot to catch up on
on a guy by the name of Lynn Riggs.

Phillip and I hope to be in New York
in January or February. By that time the plays will
be in full swing and we can see them but, in the
meantime, I would love to read them.

I hope you had a lovely time in
Provincetown. The two weeks in Florida must have
made you feel like really working.

Do write soon again.
