OH, PRECIOUS PRESENTS!
Last week 1 stated there's be a
drive for N. S. A., 1 wanted you to
day. And all old rubbish in the lot,
to send them all to me, but they
thought was woman from the mess
which you shall see. Well, 1 received
SO far to date, lot of things no good;
L got pair of rubbers and dinky
peakish hood. There also came by
parcel post a pair of comfy slippers,
but both are for the left foot, some
guy thought I'd lost my flipper. Some
body sent a thing to me that laces
front and back, of ''cOrSetS" nice to
have one, it's one thing that 1 lack.
1 got a purple cam-e-soul, and a rib
bon for my hair, a yoke of lace, a pair
of shields, and a fuzzy Teddy-Bear.
Then came today by messenger some
harness looking traps. l guess they're
to hold my stockings up, cause they
have some patent snaps. I got some
rouge and powder and a curling iron
so cute, some trading stamps, a pow
der puff and a pair of knitted boots.
Now, what I'll do with all these things,
1 haven't figured yet, but guess I'd
trade the whole she-bang for cOupla
cigarets. N. S. A.,
