 Dear Marg:
   Excuse haste but have only 3 minutes. When you telephoned last night I had already read up to where my 2nd letter was pasted in. I thought it fair to you to tell this. I could not explain then as there were people sitting beside me. I have read just enough so I absolutely must see the rest - please?? Your illustrations are fine!!! The whole thing is just great! I think you have a wonderful imagination and a very original way of expressing your thoughts. Say you know I'm terribly in love with your imagination! Do you blame me? Don't worry about my having read what I have. You know I keep my (?) counsel. I enjoyed it very much and am eagerly awaiting your permission to finish it (Can't spell it - haven't time) If you will answer this in enclosed envelope this A.M. it will be appreciated. Excuse these terrible hen tracks.


Don


P.S. I would get answer about 3 hrs after mailed it before 11 A.M.
