Darling:
Have half an hour in which to get dressed and packed for overnight hike with the kids.
Silly girl. Of course I want you to come out here.
I haven’t said much because I have been trying to get my vacation changed to the same time as yours instead of the first week in August as it now stands. I may be successful but don’t count on it.
I love you very much and miss you a great deal. Will write more when I get home tomorrow.
Your once & only, Cy.
P.S. What a hell of a letter for such a sweet girl.
