I'm always happy to hear from you. I know your heart is in the right place & that is all that matters. As of today the books haven't arrived; I do hope you sent them air mail otherwise it will take 7 weeks. Whenever I ask you to send a book let the book store mail it. They know how to pack it. It will also save double work. For the next few weeks I will live here when I decide to change my address you will know before hand. I will call you Sunday Nov. 1 6 P.M. your time if you want to change date or time-let me know. Please let me say hel-lo to Vince. Let Teddy know when I'm calling just in case she may want to add a word. Everything is well with me and I miss you all very much yet you shouldn't feel sad that I'm away. I trust you are all well & happy. My love to Buddy & the rest of the Family." In fine condition, with a few lines of mild diagonal toning.
