Phyllis to me

Dear Barbara,

I have been desperately trying to recall some kind of clue from what I
saw last night in the studio but nothing comes clear. It was splotches of color and scribbles seen through tears and hysteria and I was quite concerned about Douglas. I may never have loved him or even liked him but he is a human being and I was desperately engaged in his well-being. Like Iris being disappointed in herself for not taking photographs, I am also at a loss as to why I didn't sit there all night studying every detail I could discern. Instead, I was exhausted and all I thought was I shall study it all in the morning. I shall not make that mistake again, I assure you.

My, my, you investigators have eyes and ears everywhere, don't you? I
am most impressed by your having some access to Don Marzano's office. I really could care less about whether this Donna is Douglas' mistress although it would be useful in the divorce proceedings. But, if she is a go-between, as you say, why on earth would she call here in the middle of the day? Perhaps, she dialed the home number by mistake. Otherwise, one might think she wanted me to know and that makes no sense.

I don't think we know enough to even guess what the "A" and "Alec"
slips mean. Considering I found one crumpled up in the attic, it hardly seems useful for establishing a meeting.

Going to the burned remains of Dale's home has already been discussed
and we plan on making that excursion next week. Everyone is much more eager to explore the old compound and the plan is to do that on Sunday.

I am going to answer your other email separately because it deserves a
specific response.

Yours,
Phyllis
