  Dear Folks:

  We are in our new house. Very nice. The view, the fireplace, the room for kids to play. Our telephone number is EMerson 42361. Note similarity to address 4231 East 124th. Isn't that funny?

  I am going to Pasdena this Friday eve for a few days, then to meeting at La Jolla. Would you make an appointment with Dr. Whipple for me for cleaning, on Monday, if possible? Lucy's birthday is next week.

  I must go. Much to do.

  Love love love

  Crellin

  Al Jacobsen will get me at airport - we have agreement.

  The boy is very sweet and good - he smiles at me. I hope UAL continues to run.
