Louis Armstrong writes to a song-writer saying that he couldn't listen to his tape right now because he was playing a two week engagement in Las Vegas, busy as "a cat on a hot tin roof, ya dig," but, as soon as he returned to Corona, New York, he'd "lend all ears to your platter. 'One too many Sweethearts,' it sounds like a good one already. Soo (sic) later for the listenings-Hear?, Thanks in advance, regards Satchmo, Louis Armstrong."
