I have given your address to Mr. Dave Cavanaugh of Capitol Records, Hollywood and Vine, Hollywood, California, with whom you spoke on the wireless, and who is sending the boys some record albtims. I I am writing to Mrs. Segers in Pawtucket, about our invitation to have Chester and her as guests of the Las Vegas Charities in Las Vegas for a five-day stay when they get back to the States. I would also like to extend that invitation to you and your wife when you return to the States. Please advise me whenever you plan on coming home, but there is no time limit on this invitation, as we want to show our appreciation to both you and Segers for helping us have a wonderful experience. When I hear from you again, I will advise you further on the invitation. 95 0 8 WILSHIRE BLVD. ?╟≤ BEVERLY HILLS, CAl. ?╟≤ BRADSHAW 2-8 6 11
