Dear Bergen:
Just a brief note to
acknowledge your letter which, though
short, said everything.
I wish we could see each
other more often, but that’s the way
it goes. The ones I really like, I
see only on state occasions.
My best to you and all
those teen-agers whose brains you are
trying to improve.
Regards,
[signature: Groucho]
