Dearest Alice:

All evening I have been playing the records which I brought back with me yesterday. I wonder if you participated in the same amusement or out on one of your so called "strutting parties." Dear, you can't imagine how differently they sound tonight here than when you and I played them together.

No doubt darling, you can find it the same way at least I hope so.

Honeybunch, this has been a long tedious evening for me without seeing you and taking you into my lonely arms. The best I can do, dear, is to imagine you are here and hope you are thinking of me this very moment. Supposing, sweetness, if I had ropped in around nine thirty would I have found you alone playing the victrola or have been told that my little Alice was out on a rampage? It's awful to think about it. Well darling, good night and I will see you tomorrow evening (Saturday).

Your affectionate daddy.
LEONARD.
