*On this car deal, could you take a bus or train to Detroit and drive it to Chi, pick up your stuff and drive down here?  Present plan is a blue (like the battle axes’s Ford) with gray upholstery.  No radio or gadgets.

Can you see any objection to picking up Fleet’s gal and driving down with her, possibly before we had planned?  We might not be married right away, but you could have the car for a month’s vacation.  Mary could also come, but she’d be previous for a wedding.

Aw, nuts.  Ain’t it wonderful?  Keep the letter from Chuck for us.  Trip to Brownsville today.  Yes, we land, sometimes a couple of times.

Lots of love, angel,  Cy.
