Dear Jack-
Living in constant
fear of a visitation from O'Bleake.
"Dreading his fearful purpose-"
Since I have no
other recourse, I will be forced
to tell him firmly but politely
"that my time is engaged".
I don't know
what I'm doing down here. It
is a skid-row type of Kick.
Won't go to work until Jan 17,
at Hialeah.
Been on rockin'
chair for two months but haven't
heard word-one from the State
of Illinois.
Arthurs and those
interested in them are laughed
to scorn[?] here. The authorities take
a dim view of such callin's.
G[?] arthurs with the Delicate
Frank set.
Have sent O'Bleake
a note urging him to repair to
the Gay [?]. I assured him of
a cordial & warm welcome there.
Arthur-wise & otherwise.
Best,
Bud.
