User-Contributed Transcription New York, Monday June 24th 1940

Dear Mr. Hecht.

Friday morning Teddy will be back in New York and as soon as the law permits we shall be married.

I hold your Kind heartedness greatly responsible for the violent happiness which is threatening Teddy and myself -and since you are condemned to be my Father-in-Law, I have to tell you and Rose how appealing to me is the sentence striking you both.

I am very sad that you should both be in California when we are getting married, and I wish it were possible to hop from Brazil to the United States as often as I shall wish to enjoy your company. I am, however, nursing a solid hope that you shall soon pay a new and long visit to Rio-the sooner and longer the visit, the happier we! I also hope that circumstances will permit you to meet my parents before too many years go bye.
