Dear Almanack:
I want TO thank Mrs. Paul II.
King Of Exeter, California. for
the delicious persimmon cookie
recipe. 1t gave me another way
to use some of the persimmons
from the tree in our yard-our
family doesn't care for them as
fruit.
My son was so fond Of persim-
mon pudding when at home-so
baked a batch Of persimmon
cookies and sent them to him
where he is stationed with the
u. S. Marine Corps. Did he enjoy
them? Judging from his letter
regarding them. I'd say yes"
Thought this might suggest
something different" in the way
Of goodies for other mothers to
send their sons-especially if
they are fond of persimmons.
Thanks for the grand page.
look forward TO II weekly.
Mrs. M. c. Cleveland,
Los Angeles, California.
