Dear Mrs [Marie] Hatfield:-
          Thanks your nice letter of July 25th.
Happy to tell you I am through with the Xray treatments &
am feeling much better, my ailment has all cleared up, its sure a relief after that long session. Am not able to wear my denture yet, it seems the formation of my guns have slightly changed on account of my trouble, but am hoping it will soon rectify itself if not I will have to have a new set made.
          Note you saw "Bonnie Scotland" recently, its strange it has never been shown around here, also "The Devil's Brother" ("Fra Diavalo") these were two of our best films.
          Thanks for the clipping of "The Golden Age of Comedy" - wish I could have seen that, it must be very interesting.
          Am pleased to know your mother is doing to well & now able to get around - thats wonderful.
          We have been having quite a few visitors recently now that we are beck in Town, we missed all this by living so far out in Malibu, its nice to see our friends more often, am certainly glad we moved here.
          Not much to tell you, so all for now. Trust alls well with you both.
          Mrs L. joins in regards & best.
                    Sincerely:-

                    Stan Laurel.

Dear Ernie [Murphy]:-
          Thanks yours of July 8th.
Happy to tell you I am through with the X-ray treatments & feeling much better - able to wear my denture again, it was sure a miserable three months not having any solid food. Anyway am glad its over with.
          We are very happy in the new apt here - really pleasant. Sorry to hear about your ear infection, must have been terribly painful - hope by now its cleared up & back in shape again - these lousey ailments can sure get you down.
          I never did hear from the Spaghetti guy that I sent the picture to, the shock was probably too much for him - still wondering how I got his address.
          I mislaid the clipping you sent me, so can't think what it was about.
          I guess you have returned from your visit to straighten out the Property deal, trust it turned out satisfactory.
          All for now Ernie, trust alls well & happy.
          Love & best from us both here.
          Good luck & God Bless.
                    As ever:-

                    Stan Laurel.
