Dear Priscilla + Pat,

How are things up North? Just wonderful I know. Things down here in the deep old South are quite dull. It's hot plus every day almost.

Priscilla, I received your package most graciously. I don't know how to thank you. Perhaps, in due time I will be able to show my gratitude.

Pat, how are you and all your man folks getting along? I plan to join you in Miami for [CORE's] workshop. I want to be a part of it very much. Thanks to the influence and courage my two sweet sisters have given me. (Smile)

Oh! Priscilla, concerning this scholarship you mentioned over the phone. I would appreciate

Dear Priscilla + Pat,

How are things up North? Just wonderful I know. Things down here in the deep old South are quite dull. It's hot plus every day almost.

Priscilla, I received your package most graciously. I don't know how to thank you. Perhaps, in due time I will be able to show my gratitude.

Oh! Priscilla, concerning this scholarship you mentioned over the phone. I would appreciate

it very much if you would write me and give all the details about it (o.k.?) Thanks.

Well guess this is all for now. Continue to take care of yourselves and trust in God - Oh!!! By the way, Reatha had girl May, 31st. Her name is Serina Le Suene.

Don't forget to answer promptly. Give everyone my regards.

Yours with love,

Walt

P.S.

Whew!!!! My pen is about shot. (Smile)
