was the following letter:
you've good parrot. II 1t hadn't
been for that bird we could have
made a good haul. The parrot
screamed and made SO much noise
that we were afraid the neighbors
would be aroused, so we only took
the box and skipped. We return the
papers, which are Of no value, to us
and may be OF value to you. Re-
speotfully.

Q stranger comes into the house he
sets up terrific screaming. Teddy
