  • Description
  • Hawkins has been playing at Noordwijk for the past few days - concluded 'tonight' - and. As such, hasn't been able to make his Belgium visit. He returned to find a letter from Renee containg the tie she made for him. He's jealous that 'Gate' has brought a 'washboard gang' out to Renee's. He knows that any man would get 'a bit fresh' around her as she's ' a beautiful woman with the most voluptuous body God ever made.' He'll be doing another recording date shortly and he's sent to London for some late titles so he can pick four. He may do a broadcast date in the first week in September and he'll let Renee know. He understands that Fletcher (Henderson) is billed to go in the Roseland - this means that he (Henderson) has to get a new combination together. Hawkins thinks he'll have to go to Paris to get his photographs as they justb won't send them. He's received a letter from Elma Warren and it may not be long before he's in London. He's sending some snaps which were taken at the Kurhaus.,,
