to tell us!!! I only hope we won't
have too long to wait — We long
to know all about you where
& how you are? etc. etc. etc.[underlined]
No end to our insatiable appetites
for news of you.

We expect Les today or tomorrow.
Yesterday we went twice to
16th St. only to find an ans
seernd return a wire to say he
would be here Monday (today)
or Tuesday. He left New York
on Wednesday last but might
stop over a day or so en route
