December 2, 1968

Dear Jerry,

You'll have to throw the appropriate umm's, er's, & pauses into the following sentences. I feel you know me well enough to do this.

I have a bit of bad news to tell & I know exactly what you'll be saying!

Remember when I told you that I'd get a tape recorder just like mine for you? Huh? Remember that? You see I knew exactly where to go for it  -- my friend's husband has his own business & I probably could have gotten a discount. Anyway we could have sent tapes back and forth -- no problem. Right.

Now don't get angry.

I called this friend today to ask him what speed 1 7/8 was & we chatted on about tape recorders.

Now let me tell you what I'm going to do (before I tell you what I did). I'll buy the exact type tape recorder & mail it to you. OK?

You see I actually have a regular tape recorder. BUT IT'S IN A CARTRIDGE -- really it is. Anyway the tapes aren't compatible.

Maybe the recorder could be a New Year's present (sheepish grin).

Love me even though I did a bad thing?

Love you,
Dummy
