This and NV Good Wishes

Dear Household: Since tarried so long ON
my last visit 1 thought I had better sit down
and remain quiet for = while and listen to the
very interesting talk Of the others. Especially
since some very nice verbal roses" have been
cast along my rugged pathway BY some Of
them
some OF the very nice ones are from Ida
yoyner and Penelope; both are greatly appre-
ciated-
But Penelope, you shouldn't have made such
a rash remark. l fear you will have been
stoned till you died''-literally-ere this;
please - more careful in the future lest harm
befan you.

maidens there would surely capture my heart
