Dear Mother,

Here are some goodies I pulled out
of the box. You said 8 or 9 dollars, but disregard
the total & pick whatever you like and send
back the rest. I wish you had told me sooner
since I could have gotten you some things on
special for a lot less. We've been having Christ-
mas specials since October. The things I keep on
hand are kind of a haphazard selection.

As soon as she wakes up I'll take these to the
P.O. & get them off. She is the reason I'm giving
up Avon. She's too big to sleep in the car and
the winter is no time to take her into peoples'
homes to exchange bugs with customers' children.

On federally taxable items, its 10% + 4% Sales
tax. On the others, just 4%. Figure your own
total on the things you want. I only have one
bottle of hand lotion on hand but I've ordered
you 2 more. They changed the package & price
on the ones I ordered, but this one, I got at the
old price. *

I see where A J & J is going to split. Good
work! I hope you had some of the stock. (N.B.-
I am joshing you!)

Tell Kevin to come & see us on his way back up,
if he can.

Thank you for the goodies you sent She.

* Wrong. I'm getting those ordered on special.

Love, Marcy

p.s. Had to put it in 2 Boxes
