Hello Gemma!


     Well I finally finished your tune! I think there are a lot of 
things I could do to improve it, yet I am still learning various 
aspects of composing and recording. So I hope you can forgive any 
flaws in the tape. Anyway, I will have to send the tape by regular 
mail which will take about 15 days. The only other option is to 
send the tape by L.B.C. which will cost $20. That's the minimum 
fee to send even a small package. So I hope you can be patient. 
And I hope that you can understand that, even if you don't like the 
tune, it is written with joy and the happiness that we are friends 
from across the miles. 

     I certainly hope that I hear from you soon Gemma. I know that 
it is a long way from here to Toledo and maybe the mail gets 
delayed. So I'll send along a little bit to help you with postage 
ok? Maybe it will be enough to return a letter to me through 
L.B.C. 


     May God bless you forever and always, and may he speed your 
next letter to my home very soon.

     I am thinking of you always.

                    Your friend from California,

                                   Donald.
