Emeryville Cal—
July 27— 34
Darling Mine:—
Oh what a daddy. I suppose if I wasn’t reminded I would never write to you. Honey girl I was so sick for two weeks I lost my voice and was rite in bed. But I feel some better now. Thanks a lot for the beautiful remembrance. Your telegram was OK with capital letters. I do not get my mail at El Cerrito any more. The new address is Santa Fe Hotel Emeryville. [p. 1]
I am still playing piano for my living. Such as it is. We eat at the place I work. That is the two proprietors and myself. So my room rent is only $300 a week and I have plenty of sleep. Every nite when I go to bed I think about you all. I still say my prayers. I am working for my old pal Max Bridgfort. He is the only one who knows my family affairs. He and I worked together for a year and half in 1931. He has a wonderful wife just a double for you. [p. 2] He is a double for me in a lot of ways. Say hello to him next time you write[.] I know he will be pleased[.] I want him to come to S.L— with me for a visit.???
If I had off had the dough last week I would be in S.L. now. You will be surprised one of these days. If you are disapointed in me will you send me back on one of your buses? What kind of rates can you get a poor guy from here to S.L.? Oh baby what a broker.
I will give you an idea what a good piano player [p. 3] does with all his money. I go to work at 9— P. M. work till 4 or 5 in the morning. I get $150 a nite and $250 saturdays. $1150 per week. I pay out 300 for room, 150 cigarettes, 100 laundry— 400 for eats. Barber, cleane, car fare etc 200. If I want to go places I have to make some extra dough. Last nite I made 500 in the kitty, but the live guys are hard to find.
Thanks again for the Telegram. Please write me soon I love to get your most wonderful letters. Love to all and kisses too. I must be rite before I will come home so be patient darling. You will soom be in my arms.
Your loving daddy Mitch.
