Both items on 'Bebe' letterheads, and both with signature 'Bebe' incorporating a drawing of a stick figure with hat. Letter One: 12mo, 1 p. Twelve lines. Good, on lightly-aged paper. With addressed envelope. She is sorry they missed one another 'at the station, especially after all the trouble you went through to get there'. Gives news of show: 'Boy, it will be good to get back to town again. | I have enjoyed the tour but as you know travelling nowadays isn't what it used to be, by a long shot.' Letter Two: 8vo, 1 p. 21 lines. She makes an excuse for not meeting: 'I was feeling so ill that I just had to get home right after the show, and you are so sweet that I knew you would understand.' Suggests supper 'at the Jewish Restaurant you were telling Ben about'. Of an injury to Colleano's finger she writes 'Anyway, it gave you a chance to sing!'.
