  • Description
  • Hawkins says he's not 'bad off' but just wants the royalty people to sort out the accounts. He's had a 'phone call from Copenhagen about going there again but he's not given a definite answer. He's not trying the 'chicks' because he loves Renee - but he did have a chick visit him 'all of last month' from Copenhagen. He's not heard from Gertrude or Floretta and he doesn't write to them anymore. He's waiting for a letter from Mama from home. Renee has told him that Meditation has been released in the 'States' - it was orchestrated by 'the Dutch fellow Butterworth'. He knows Clarence Robinson but it's been a long time since he's seen him and he doesn't know what his opinion about him would be now. Hawkins has been offered a partnership in a new cabaret in Bern but doesn't know whether to take it or not.,,
