Dearest Girl,
I have just attended a business meeting of the Hotel Petaluma and I never realized before I knew so little
about advertizing. I suppose it's like everything else you learn after you are old. Therefore I am glad I have a lot to learn yet.
I am going to S.F. [San Francisco] tomorrow & Don is going with me. We will have a very busy day interviewing engineers,
and other work connected with the Ukiah job. It's a lot of technical stuff that would make your head swim. It does min, tho, it doesn't take much to
make my head swim as I go around looking like a dog that lost it's master.
Since I am back from the trip I do not dare to think of Santa Rosa. It gives me a sick at heart feeling that nearly
breaks out into a cold sweat.
If I had the time and money I'd be in Los Angeles day after tomorrow. In fact I'd have been there the day after
I got back from Eureka.
That reminds me that Eureka is chuck full of cabarets and joints. We took them in (to a certain extent) and I must
say it was very educational.
I could go out in a large crowd and feel very much alone tonite. That sentence carries more than effect. It
carries the tone of despair. If it were possible at this time I would go in some place where it was very quiet and torture myself with sad music, the kind of music that
brings answering notes of despair from your soul and mine.
Tomorrow I will be eager to get back home from the city. I do not dare to hope there will be a letter for me --- I
know you too well to look for forgiveness. I d not even think you got the letters I sent you from the north. They were in all probability not forwarded to you.
If I could undo what I have done I would give anything, yet I am not entirely sorry because now I know a
love for you and experience a solitude which will either make or break me -- just as you will. Only this will I say - do not wait too long - if you still care. This letter
may be boring to you but I don't think so. You are probably as glad to read it as I am to write it. It may sound like a lot of mush but unmistakeable is the message between
the lines -- quite inmistakeable the love which it radiates - for you.
As there is nothing elst to do, I will go to bed now and may I not ask you for the sake of the past
to be a good girl and forgive
Your devoted
Marino
