Dear Betty,
I am writing this early in the morning, propped up by pillows in the bridal suite of a Winnipeg Hotel. Dolls & dames, guys & greasers have been wandering in & out & around & about all night & every way & then someone collapses on the bed & 2 interrupt my letter to kick 'em off.

It is not much worse than some news paper offices at that but I personally will settle for a quieter atmosphere any time.

Unfortunately, the suite lacks a bride but my room mate a guy named "Bruce" Barrett on account of his champagne tastes on a beer income, is pretty  clever at finding dames & such - hence
