Dearest Leonard,

Wild waiting in my room, for the friends of mine to come, and take me, to a surprise party, tonight. I am writing you these few lines what you asked me too.

Now Len, I feel terrible terrible about your plane, in noe knowing it you will return to N. Y. the end of the month.

You have gotten me now, dear, I don't care what happened, because I have been looking forward in your coming home. I do not want, to hear no more about Age, and be coming your own boss, because, if you do not return we will put things right off and forget about everything whats happened between the both of us, your the dearest to my heart, and I really love you Len, but I cant stand in this business, Len you being so far away I would not rare for a month, but almost going in second year, Why not!

If I had loved you and had trouble like that with my family I would of told them something long ago. But you are to easy with your father, and you want me to be easy with you, but I cant be that way. Why I sent you telegram from hear, I could not get one to send it, thats why collect, all of those collect telegram, dear I shall repay you latter.

So this is my last letter to Arizona also to you if you do not return. Always yours, if return.

ALICE.

Kisses.
