They signed only a few for me. We get many requests, but of course it can't be done - mostly college kids write for them. I'm very busy here preparing for 1,000 guests at a dinner dance. Very hot and damp. Please keep well and I will see you when I return. Sincerely, Madeline Davis," envelope addressed on the obverse to Anna Lisa Kervinen, 420 Corbett Ave, Twin Peaks, San Francisco, California, 94114, reverse with return address M. Davis c/o Mrs. A.
