DEAREST CLAUDIA,

I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL, AND YES, SHE LOOKS LOVELY AS ALWAYS. I LIKE HER IN BLACK. LAST YEAR SHE WORE BLACK AND RED, AND THE RED REALLY STOOD OUT,

I HAVE NOT SEEN GOWN ON HERE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AND HOPE HE IS WELL. EASTER BLESSINGS TO YOU, DEAREST CLAUIDA,

MY BEST WISHES AND MUCH LOVE,

HOWARD XX
