I have become a little older since I last saw you and a few changes have come into my life. Frankly, I have become a frivolous old gal. I am seeing five gentlemen every day. As soon as I wake up Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go see John. Next, Charlie Horse comes along and when he is here, he takes a lot of time and attention. When he leaves Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn’t like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day, I’m really tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life! Oh, yes, I’m also flirting with Al Zymer.
P. S. The preacher came to call the other day. He said that at my age, I should be thinking about the hereafter. I told him, «Oh, I do all the time. No matter where I am: in the parlor, upstairs, in the kitchen, or down in the basement, I ask myself, now what am I hereafter?»
