There iz no stoppin you. Drip corfeepotz iz
known/ I have worn out a dozen: and got one in workin order
that stopped usin when got better kind, that gives more flavour
on one third the corfee/ and to hear you you wd. think that
havink tried the G.Wash one way, one wdn't have sense enuff to
try it another.

waal the sugar ration is more than we normally use/ so
SooZann wuz right.

now bless you fer kind intentions : and when
botherin to send a package it is less fuss to send ten pund
in one go that to driblett. also when botherink to send it
so far a couple of cents on the pund dont matter.

and as I found after writing, the hotel had paid some duty
but I had NOT when I got the first corfee; so it was a
error of innocence./

anyhow/ the stuff in bean is the best. and the unroasted is worth
tryink sometime.

Waal a friend of mine ( murkn ) saw the Fuhrer a month ago
and Adolph wuz feelin fine. This for you comfort. no side.
just human an german / so if the god damn jews tell you
Adolf is off his head, ask 'em WHEN.

Pore bloody Finns have been had/ bleedin for a jew nickel
company that rashly said nobody but babyface
any nickel. I am sorry fer the Finns , but I dont like Rhosians

yes, the pseudoPop/rice don't travel/ but thet li'l box of nutz
wuz most deelicious, and as to mapL scirop, I mean sugar that
wuz fine.

The ONL American news that is any use is those small
ITEMS/ particular paragraphs about particular people. Thus in
yr' lot the few lines about sour puss Hutton, were the sort of thing
I want/

European news a month late, cooked up by some britisch jew in
no good. I know all about what THEY want one to hear.

waal it is WET/ it has been cold, but less than elsewhere/

I fergit whether you have been bumbarded with pixchoor postcards
fer years or not. I enc/ the dinink room.

Deer Vyoler/ aint that just llovely, and with Con gone to
Hollywood and something new to break up, the new car will be
for several weeks yet. Is it made of steel or soy bean fibre ?
Personally I dont approve of Hen Førd wastin soya on automobiles.
I wish you wd/ git me a receipt for making them beans into sauce
like the chinks use. Also fer makin peanut butter/ I aint had
any fer months/ I spose if I squish up some peanuts it wd/
pretty nigh make 'em into butter/ but do you add salt ? or
just hot water and serve ( I mean can ) ? + do you roast 'em
first or last?

Well I got some ugly N.Y. papers, but your American
papers NEVER print any news/ have to mug thru 40 pages to get
six or eight lines/ and then nothing about authors and writers/
at most the love story of Doug. Fairbunks or the last Mary Pickford
or Theda Para. Well I wish you or someone wd/ tell me wot you
think of it all. do I take it you got thet car for 404 dollars ?
or do you still owe fer the tires and cushions ? / oh I see it is
a 37 model/ wot do the new ones cost/ and does it look like
the last elephant ?

I spose to Mr Pesca wants to keep on fishin up
fees/ the teaching attitude has its technique/ waaal; I shpose
she will have some voice left at the end of the process, and lets
hope her taste is indestructible. The Vivaldi Juditha
is very good music/ yes, yes, we still have some
kulchur and refinement/ Mr Monteverde on the other hand, specializes
in comic effects in Te Deums and Ura pro proboscises .
Come pray toodledoo ooo for toodeledo us. / waaal; got back
here and the water wuz still warm, so I had a sea bawth. on
Sunday, and will now go plop for another.

Do the weekly papers in NY. print any news ? / or are there
any notes on the surviving american writers ?
