Dear Lee—

Am writing to Dolby to send you the tickets.

I engage to dine Friday at 6 (I believe that is the hour) & if I fail to come you will know that it was impossible to come. Will you please drop me a line on Friday reminding me, for I have a whole world of things to think about now. We all send love.
