Hi sweetheart –

I think your letter is a little incongruous with Alaska as the heading but sent from Desert Hotel. But glad as I was to get it, I didn’t much care.

It’s so nice that you ran into Smitty—I never did feel right about you and Jack loosing him in (Alaska) I mean Virginia. Is he married yet or still giving all the girls a break?!..
