Dearest Marian,

It is 10:27 P.M. The hour suggests bed time. The end of the day and of a long day. I am tired physically and mentally -- with all the wreck at home to contend with and the days hustle and bustle. But I will sleep all that off presently.

We are having trouble with the insurance adjustor so we put a lawyer on it, and are confident a settlement will be reached with little delay.

I had quite a trip last night - got sleepy near Fairfield so I stopped and coffeed there and got here at 12:30 P.M. and that's that.

But I am not thinking of the trip now -- nor of the insurance problem, nor of the days work. I have just been looking at a picture -- I often look at that picture -- there is a young woman the background is beautiful - she has a sweater on and -- well it doesn't matter what she has on for it is only the young woman. I worship that young woman. If there were anything I adored more -- or wanted more -- there couldn't be.

You are that young woman. It is you I love - worship - adore - want. I wish I could tell you how I long to see you -- to look in your eyes.

I will see you Sat nite - and close with love.

           Love Always
           Marino
