Dearest darling -
Altho I had written a letter earlier today - I once again want to talk to you, darling -
Here it is 11 15 & Mad & I have just finished listening to Anthony program - which is really funny. After the program - Mad & I presented Nad's problem in the same tone & charm of language as Anthonys' customers - using the Bronx accent & the words "which" & "so" - It really was the funniest thing - It's a darn good thing - we have any sense of humor - for her problem sounded more complicated then most of the presenters. But we laughed. After that we put on WQXR & listened to "Music to Read By". The first selection was a Strauss Waltz - And guess what I did - Just think a moment before I tell you - Yep - you are right -

I went into my favorite - you know darling - dancing - Can you see me - twisting and turning-A tour de force etc - etc - It was fun & exercise - Now I am sitting in bed - continuing to listen to the Music - & thinking, thinking of you and what you could be doing at this moment - Hoping that mental telegraphy were really a scientific accomplishment - 8 15 what could you be doing-perhaps one little thought of me filters thru your mind. Well - darling - I must get to sleep - I have a big day tomorrow. I expect to be very busy - & I may not have the time to get off a letter before evening -I probably will make the time - tho - So - sweets - until tomorrow - once again - Good nite -
I forgot - darn - please give my regards to Aaron Somers - I almost knew the guy so why shouldn't I be remembered to him - (Also to Seymour R.)
Good night - love -
I know I shall have pleasant dreams for they shall be filled with you - as they have been right along.
Good nite - swe
