Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. Vol. 17, No. 4, April 1972

Earl is afraid that I’ll inform to the police, so now I’m his prisoner and I’m plenty scared. It’s hopeless. I’m beyond rescue because we are leaping off any minute for some reeking corner of the Far East known only to Earl. I’m going to pacify him until we return to the States. Then I’ll bolt for the nearest divorce lawyer!

After which, my darling faithful Cliff, I’ll be in a desperate hurry to see you again. Will you be waiting with open arms?

I’ll try to slip this into the mail at the airport. What madness! I’m hysterical. I need you!

Always yours,
