  • Hawkins is 'finally back in this steel town'. His 'accompaniment is somewhat digfferent this time'. He has the records Renee told him about. He's not too keen on 'Duke's record of "Cocktails for Two"' and thinks Duke should stick to 'Stompy Jones etc.' He's also got the Mills Brothers 'Sleepy Head' and Hawkins wants to 'record it so badly' He also has the Mills Brothers 'Jungle Fever' and it's 'sending me so I can hardly write'. Hawkins bought 'six bottles of Canadian Club Rye Whiskey yesterday.',,
