My Darling:
Your good letter arrived tonight. Glad to hear from you and Elizabeth. Will write to Marion and send the letter on. Have a headache and must get to bead. Have not had a good day, only two orders for $29 and $112. Frank got $1290 last week.
Have just arrived here tonight and will probably spend Sunday here.
Could not get a room at Windsor so am staying here for tonight but will go back to Windsor for balance of the time. Hope you are well and happy. What you said about monthly calendars was O.K.
Must get to bed. Feel tired and sleepy most of the time.
Love from
Jack
