Dearest wife, I'm really curious to see you again, to see how you look now (they talked about you a few days ago, they said you never look alike one day after another)
I'm working like a lion, a nervous one,- at night I wake up to remember to buy Tootsie Rolls you wrote about. You know how at night everything gets magnified.
Last night I went to see Mauldin and we decided to start a paper of our own, in the fall. Nothing practical. It's Sunday now, it's raining, I worked all day in the studio sorting drawings I want to take with and others that I want photostated. Mili wants to give me a farewell party and I'm sorry I had to be blunt and refuse it because I don't feel like seeing people and drink, and this trip to you now is for me a little solemn. I want to think of it by myself and enjoy it but not the party way.
