 loc_vm.00701_large.jpg 126 Waverly Place, New York 31 May Dearest Walt:

One more Manhattanese sends loving remembrances on this your festival day.1

I wish I were within hand-clasping distance; but if all your friends were to come at once, Camden could not contain the multitude.

May you flourish like your own green "Leaves".
