I must close for now darling. I get ready to go to the show. It takes me about one half an hour to get there. I am sorry I can't take you with me dear, but as we are seperated, it is impossible. But some day I can.

Now, please do not wait as long as I did to answer this letter, but write soon as I always love to hear from, ,you..

Always your friend,

H.M. Hellinger

P.S. Please don't die of shock when you look at this picture.
