Letter reads:
Dear Jay
& everybody at ABC - Dunhill Records
I really don't know quite where to begin thanking everybody for all the
hard work, confidence, and support that went into making "Ole Leroy" the
success that it has been. For me - it's kinda hard to explain the feeling
of seeing a dream realized. The gold records that Maury and I received
are beautiful to look at, but even deeper than that is the sense of group
accomplishment all of us share in seeing everyones hard work pay - off
in the form of a successful record. We all hope it's the first of many
to come. It's near impossible to write to everyone around the country,
but please extend our gratitude and deepest "thank - you" to everyone for
us.Hope to see eveyone when we come out to tape the next Midnite Special
( this time I'll have my flu shot).
Till then - take care and extend our warmest thanks, hello's, and
"see - ya - soons" to everybody.
All the best & more
Jim
