Miss Jane Axtell 538 S. Normandie Los Angeles, California
Hello Jane!
Here I am again.
Your card shamed me into sitting myself down and giving myself a good talking to.
Time out for a bull session.
Now that that is over with and I again concentrate I find that my lecture to me was unkind to I, as the real reason for not writing was that I was waiting for that real nice really sentimental love letter that ya spoke of in your last letter.
I’m going to wait and see how ya do for I haven’t received any thing of that sort for years.
Nite!
That guy
Ted
==============================
Note, enclosed in this envelope with the letter was the following typewritten note. I can’t tell if the note was from Ted or whether my mother added the note to the letter for some reason. On the back of the note is a sketch of a woman labeled “Alice” in my mothers style. It might be a draft of the sentimental love letter mentioned in Ted’s letter.
