Yeah, Rose.
That, uh, I don't think the little buzzer works with you in your office.
Oh, that's right.
Did you get a, uh, you saw my dictation about Wilson?
I know that I dictated him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did they get it off him, you know?
I just wanted to get the letter that they don't want to hand the letter to him.
I'll get a little mark, she said, and that'll take care of it in heaven.
Right.
No, no, I was just trying to see if the letter had gone, because I don't want to be sure about it.
I guess it ought to be before we can send it in.
