the news was received testified that
Collins was not the only patrolman
who had been the recipient of such a
note. Many of them had aspired to
the post of roundsman.
The printed form-it could hardly DC
called a letter-was carelessly filled out
on the typewriter with his lam and
address and several details the printer
had evidently forgotten. 1t ran as fol-
