Dear Charles

I am trying to find a place for you for Sunday - Wedesday. I spoke to my people. They said if it could not be worked out, then they could not leave you here without a chaperone or someone at a drag house it would be ok. If it doesnt work out - and it might not - that you would leave Sunday.

I wonder each time how long can I go on dissappointing you - saying goodbye - saying I'm sorry. You have been patient and I can do no better than this. I have been brooding over this most of the day. I want you to be happy but I can not cause it.

Meanwhile, I have my scouts out. Anyway, if worst comes to worst - be prepared and I know that I will cry too.

I miss you now very sharply and wish I could have you here -

Love & Hope
Michael.
