They are holding it over for this week. There were so many children opening day that I was called to make a little talk and tell all about you which I did - your taps were clear and fine..." Another on Cotton Club stationery simply noting, "Dear Shirley, From the bottom of my heart - to the soul of your feet - Uncle Billy". And a postal Valentine telegraph dated 1936 simply stating, "There is no sweeter Valentine in the whole wide world than you, Bill Robinson".
