The Location of the Date in Letter Class

Question

MWE:

\documentclass[12pt]{letter} 
\usepackage[english]{babel} 
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}
{Name \ 
Address \ 
Location }
%\date{February 15, 2023}
\opening{Dear ---,}
\lipsum[3]
\closing{Sincerely yours,\[2pt]Me} 
\end{letter} 
\end{document}

OUTPUT:

I would like to vertically reposition the date so that it lies (right justified) between "Location" and "Dear---". How may I do this?
