Dear Dad –

Well…Although I lost the address, I feel I must write before I get too far away – We’re in Munich, Germany now – We just left Paris and Nancy France – We’re playing around london now. That’s where I’m staying these days. I have my own group and will have a record out about 2 months named “Hey Joe” By the Jimi Hendrix EXPERIENCE

I hope you get this card – I’ll write a decent letter – I think things are getting a little Better –

Your loving son

Jimi
