User-Contributed Transcription [1965]
Dear dear Ptu -
I love you. I love you. I love you. [Heart symbol heart symbol heart symbol]. I am in Brussels. We openned on the 5th. It is very exciting being on the stage! I love it. I made myself a new dress for the openning - I mean, a costume. It is bright red linen and very plain with fringes at the bottem. We play here one week and then in Amsterdam and Rotterdam and Eindhoven(?) and around the 25th of February we go to Italy to live in a castle and finish Antigone & Balcony while the Maids opens in Berlin. (As soon as it opens, Judith & Julian can leave it and be in Italy.) Julian will be back for the last Brussels show - back from jail I mean.
I love you. I love you. Oh, Ptu, I love you. [Heart symbol heart symbol heart symbol].
Address in Italy - Il Castello Roccasinibalda
Provinci di Rieti
Italy. [Heart symbol]
I have three letters from you. I have not had a chance to write to S.A.G. for my money but of course I will. Very, very soon.
The Dress and Shawl sounds very Beautiful. I want it! In Italy! I love you! I will send back my coat when it gets warm. In Belgium it is still winter and I am still very cozy in my fur. It is almost half-hour,
I love you.
I love you. I love you.
XXX OOO [Heart symbol heart symbol heart symbol] Ptu
