Dear Marie,

Have just finished writing the “gum” letter so will write another short
note and enclose the instruction sheet in this.

I sure do wish I could be there with you but no such luck. Here’s hoping
you will get lots of fun out of it. It will keep you busy tutoring to
pay for its fodder, but it’s great sport – how is it by you? I am glad
you like it so well and want you to keep it for me while I am gone just
as if it were yours.

You will find the dope in that black tin box. If there are any of my
cartridges in sight burn ‘em up. Gee, if I could only be there to keep
you. I like this life here, but there is one big thing missing and
that’s You.

How are you coming with the dancing? Hope you will get a chance to try
the horseback riding. It sure is good sport.

Forget about the chevrons.

Don’t plan on sending me anything. May think of a stunt later. If there
is anything I can do speak out.

Yours,

Forrest.

Don’t forget that picture with S.C. emblem

Sorry about your teeth – know what it is
