Hi Sweetheart,

     I’ve just got time to tell you I love you. I’ve got a lot of work to do yet tonight. We leave at 6:30 in the morning and come back Thursday. I’ll write as soon as I can after we get back.

     Good night Sweetheart.
          I love you with all my heart.

I love you.

 

Oh yes, how far from L.A. is Encino?
