Also my icebox arrived today, compliments of the landlady…I have only two wheels & Maxine [Ambus] got uppity and had to be squashed. There is no money here -- how about you? Job? etc? What plans now?…[signed] H". He additionally handwrites, "What of mine do you have? - besides lamp?". Sheet of salmon colored paper measures 8.5" x 5.75" with torn lower edge. Very good condition.
