My Dear Betty [Healy Murray]:-
Thanks for the compliments on our TV appearance - frankly I was shocked & embarrassed, being put on the spot totally unprepared - I still have'nt gotten over it.
I appreciated the honor bestowed, but sincerely wished it had never happened - I felt like 5 million viewers were saying "So what"!! seemed like a nightmare.
I enjoyed seeing some of the old gang again after the show, had a lovely party at the Roosevelt Hotel.
Am delighted to hear you are going to eventually go to Las Vegas & get into business again - working for Tony Cornero would be a stepping stone to having your own place later on, I think its wonderful Betty, you will gain lots of experience without any risk & should build up a name a great clientele. There was something on TV last night about Government land lots in Vegas to be sold for 50 Dollars down, I think it was the same deal they had in Palm Springs a 1itle while ago. I imagine you could get the full information from the Vegas Chamber of Commerce - might be worth your while to look into it.
All for now Betty. Mrs L. wants to thank you for your nice compliment & joins in every good wish to Wayne & self.
Bye now & God Bless.
Sincerely always:-
