My Darling
Hope you have had a good time tonight. As you might expect I fiddled around until I missed the train-in fact the blooming thing passed me below North Norwich and I had to put my car in shop, I didn’t try to catch the darn thing.
Have not made a sale today. Just arrived here at 10:30. Found Frank’s letter [Either John’s 16 year old son or his brother] and two from you at Binghamton. Will try to get back to Binghamton Thursday or Friday morning. Will try to take good care of my voice so I’ll be fit for the concert!
Think I’ll run up to Watkins tomorrow and back here tomorrow night.
Love unmeasured,
John
