And I’d love to see you IF you give me a phone call at least 2 week[s] in advance…Trouble is, I’m living mostly up in Hollywood next month, where, as you know, I’m making a CBS special. So, phone before you come! If we can’t connect this month, we surely will later on when the heat simmers down.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, postmarked November 19, 1970.
