Dear Buttons: It is 1A.M. and I
have no ink but here goes.
I should have written long
ago but so help me I work
the darndest hours and I work
- - hard. I've lost 8 lbs in
fact. My entire meals for to-
day consisted of a sand + coffee
for lunch at 1P.M. and 1/2 sand
+ cold coffee at 9.30P.M. - so
you see what I mean.

I hope you are well
and back to work but I ex-
pect they will forward this to
you in case you are not. I
cant find your home address.
Take it easy now - you last
longer you know!

Beverly is getting won-
derful + fat. Weighs about 12
[lbls?]! She is very cute and
is still dainty despite her
chubbiness. She smiles now
and Goo's quite intelligent-
ly. This Sunday if all goes
well a friend of mine is
going to photograph her at
home. I will send you
one right away.
