There are also
various other things included-The multicolored handkerchief is for Harriett
(Ginny’s friend) Please wash and iron it-I had to use it to wrap the coins in-The
coins themselves are souvenirs-The little Dutch 10 [cents] pieces make
beautiful bracelets The girls in Holland wear them a lot-They make them with
links like this [references picture] Johnnie Kohler could probably do a nice
job of it-It really looks nice when they’re all joined with silver links-There
is also a little bracelet you could give to one of the infants in the
family-Joyce perhaps-(guess she’s not an infant any more though-The studs are
for me-The little bell for you charm bracelet-The broach (you’ll have to cut
the pin a bit) is for you too-The match box cover is a souvenir of Brussells
and the statue of the Manekin-Pis is the most famous in all
Love Jack
