Letters: March 24, 1951

         Chapter IX. Continuing the trials and tribulations of Fosdick X. Corrigan in his search for understanding of telephone chatter by redheads who say nothing but: uh-oh-ya-uh-well I don’t gee-but-oh golly-I see-uh-oh-well maybe-heck-gin & tonic, please-uh-uh-uh-hic hic-uh-yaaaa-S.F. State-uh-well gee-uh-be careful-uh-

        For some twenty five or so bucks--ouch--I left the morning after I called from where I called and I’m now just a short hop from Tokyo and I’m socked in by weather. Expect to leave tomorrow morning and I should be back in Yokohama tomorrow night and I hope there’s a letter from you awaitin’ ol’ Fosdick X., better known as the getting to be sad joe.

        It was an interesting conversation nevertheless, and I’m glad I made the call and I’ll call again if you don’t mind although probably at a more decent hour but I had to be sure of catching you at home--not meant as a crack hon.

        I thought you were going to send me some more pictures of one each good looking redhead? Well?

        Okay Baby--I’ll write again when I get back to Yokohama. Give my love to your landlady, who I don’t know but she’s probably a nice woman. Write soon.
