LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO HER FRIEND, SAL
LY ATHERTON

Dear Sally:
l knew of course that dad would
help you over your trouble, for you
have always been to hia just like
one of his own daughters.
He said to me as he handed me
.Shis check for two thousand dollars,
Which l am inclosing:
"You tell that little girl to keep
stiff upper lip and I'll see that she
gets through.
"Tell her to send her husband
where he will have the care Of the
bet specialist and if she feels that
it is too hard for her to keep her
position, to throw it up and just turn
her attention to that great big fool
ish boy that she married"
And here, Sally dear, is something
that want to do. Dad gave me also
a couple of thousand dollars and l
am sendiEg one of them to you. l
want you to use this, not for Sam
but for yourself, and l am going TO
ask you to do something that you
may think is foolish with it.
i want you to buy a couple Of
pretty frocks and above all tw,
nifty hats. There is nothing in this
world that makes a woman feel quite
SO much as though she were abso-
lutely friendless as to go around in
shabby clothes.
: knowing you as I do, dear Sally,
I expect that is just exactly what
you are doing at the present moment
while you are spending every cent
you can rake and scrape to get Sam
back where he can see again.
Don't think l am frivolous. dear.
or silly TO ask you to do this. L know
exactly the effect it will have upon
your spirits and / also want you to
know that l am not one of your fair
weather friends. Dad has not on;y
. promised me, but told me to write
You in this letter that anything you
need or want to make you comfort
able is yours.
Give my love to Sam. Beatrice

wrote her that was very despairing'
