Friday eve. June 5th/63.
Friend Richard,
Pardon me for not
answering your kind letter before
I dont know that I have any
reason to give, that would seem
creditable only, I would keep putting
it off thinking I would write the
next day, but as the old saying
is "better late than never" but I
am afraid this miserable thing
will be the reverse of that. I was
indeed glad to get your letter it
