Summary
Typed message reads: "Hi: Bill has been taking me here on Thurs. nights. He says without any movie money we have to economize. So here we are in the basement of Lung Fat's. I'm having a couple of Cutty Sark [sic] (to keep out the damp) and he's eating cellophane noodles. The cashier here looks very suspicious to me. Love-- L. Gee, how is "The Ragu" coming along??"
