Dear Velma,
Surely sorry you felt so bad Monday night. Thought you would be out tonight to practice. Hope you will be able to be out by Sunday.
I had such a nice time! I should have come in after, but I said you were going to bed. I thought I would disturb you more if I came in. I'll miss your book. Glad to be seeing you soon.
