ALS signed “Patsy & Julie,” two pages, 5.75 x 9, December 8, 1958. Letter to her friends Trina and Bruce, in full, “Sorry to be so late writing but I had five days in Minn., then the car went bad, then (& now), Julie is sick with cold & infected ears & throat. No work and none in sight. Didn’t go to the convention either. They have canceled 60 days work on me since Aug. 29th. The thirty days I told you about was canceled also (no money they say) except for the 5 days in Minn. over the days of the convention of course. They said Jimmy Dean came into from the airport by police escort & had all Columbia artist to meet & greet him in the lobby of the hotel. Some deal Huh? Said Ferlin Huskey has put back on his western wear & I’m glad to hear it. So am I. Well, finally ‘Dear God’ has been released. I finally got them to get it out of Decca. Didn’t know if you have heard of this song or not. It’s been recorded for over 1 yr. 1/2 and only given out to DJs but never for sale, so now it’s for sale and has been released. It’s my first real religious record. I’ve gotten 2500 letters already around this part of the country for the record. People wanting it and I believe it will sell. I’m getting ready for a session of 2 singles and he wants me to cut an album also but I don’t think I want an album on Decca. I’ve only got till May 59 with Decca McCall if my recollection is right on my contract. Then either to ‘Dot’ or ‘R. C. A.’ Well I hope all are well and everything is going good for you. Tell your Mom & Aunt ‘Hello.’ I sure could stand some work that way. $100 per night, so see what you can do.” In very fine condition. Cline gave birth to her daughter Julie on August 25, 1958, and not soon after moved her new family from Winchester to Nashville, Tennessee, a fortuitous change of scenery that allowed Cline to scale both the pop and country charts with her new label, Decca.
