Dear Billy,

            Yip! Yip! Yip! I received your bottle of “Shalimar” yesterday. I just love it, Billy. I had it standing on my desk all day and I showed it to everyone who came in. They all thought it was lovely. And I was very proud to tell everyone it was you who sent it to me.

            Mary’s package came yesterday afternoon—mine came in the morning. All my mail, and the mail for the company, comes in upstairs where Mary is. Every morning when I come in, I always go to see if there is anything. Yesterday morning I was a little later than usual and before I even got into the cashier’s cage where Mary is, she said, “You would be late this morning. There’s a package for you from Billy and my perfume must be in it, too.” I told her I didn’t think it was; that I was quite sure you had sent hers in a separate package. However, I opened it up there and when Mary saw there was only one bottle in the cigar box, and her face fell right down to the floor. I consoled her and told her the other package would probably come later in the day because I knew you had mailed them at the same time.

            At about 2 P.M., my phone rang and Mary’s voice on the other end said, “It’s here. I’ve opened the package and the bottle is all right. It’s not broken.” I think if the bottle had been broken, Mary would have cried right then and there. She was tickled to death with the perfume, Billy, and is writing you a note to thank you for sending it.

            Billy, I bet I have taken the bottle of “Shalimar” out of the box at least twenty five times, and I’m not fooling. I just love the odor and the bottle, itself, it’s so pretty. Even after I use the perfume, I shall always keep the bottle.  They’re all so pretty.

            I’m so glad you received my package of April 6^th. I can’t understand why my package of March 14^th hasn’t arrived yet. In it, among other things were cheese, smoked turkey spread, crackers and some hard candy.

            I’m glad you enjoy the spreads which I have sent you. I shall get another package off to you next week. I’ll send you some ritz crackers, too. I’ve been sending smaller boxes of crackers lately because the box with the ritz crackers is so large when I get it the overseas box, I can’t get anything else in. However, I shall send you a large box in my next package, anyway, because they’re nice to nibble on after you’ve finished the spreads.
