Hello darling:
Well I just got back from a show and the picture was what I called very good. The name was Song of Russia and darling I think you would like it to [sic]. I won’t tell you about it because it would spoil it. Well to day [sic] was another one of those day [sic] when you don’t feel like doing anything at all. You see it was very warm out and I think everybody has got spring fever anyway I felt just like I got it.
[page 2]
Darling I got another letter from you and if you don’t do something for that cold pretty soon I’ll have to go home and see if I can cure it. Well darling I guess I’ll close for now got a big day ahead of me so until to morrow [sic] I love you very much and I wish I could be with you. Lots of love
Howard
