"Dear Kitten -

My mail is lost again so

I haven't heard from you for a

month or more. The country

is gorgeous now. The trees are

turning and the weather be-

coming nasty and wet. How-

ever things seem to be

happening. I wonder if you

are still in New York or

'down South.' Horribly lone

some here and I can't even

raise ambition to write a decent

letter until I get some mail -

Here's hoping -

Robbie
