Jimmie called about 4 o'clock - said he didn't know it was possible to miss anyone so much. Told me he'd call Sunday AM and we'd plan for Monday in London. The time was interminable - I was so used to seeing him every day, but I feel big events are in store for him in the studio - and with the band in London. This is no place for him. But the Colonel wants to keep him.


He said the letter I wrote him en route from Stratford was the most wonderful thing that ever came from a fountain pen! He read it over and over.
