Montgomery Ala. July !. 1908.
Dear Drift:
| A day or two since, I noticed a let
| ter in your most highly interesting
! column which bore the signature OF
q. Charleston Girl. 1t seems that she
was handing you roast about your
being partial to blue eyed blondss Now
| I don't thing 1t right for you to mono
police the affections of all the beauties
| in this broad land OF ours, when there
are so many sons of the south that
are hungering for fair lady to share
Etheir lots. I happen to be of the un-
| fortunate individuals. but unlike you.
| am not nearly so partial to blue
eyed blonds'' as I am TO the beautiful
! brunettes.
Now, am sure. as you are very
| susceptible young man that you do
not object to receiving letters from
young ladies. so let us hear from this
sweet little Floridian who calls her
| self Charleston Girl.
~ Very truly yours.
