l.l. in ink: Letter #9.
l.c. in ink: One morning I awoke from a dream about you: \ you had come into my room to hug me good-bye \ as you
often did before leaving for work. As \ I hugged you, I could smell the lingering \ fragrance of shave cream on your face. I could \ also smell the starch of your clean white shirt. \ It was so clear in my dream. So clear!
