I am enclosing stamped and addressed envelope for your
convenience. Please do me the favor. After a fashion . . . you
sort of owe it to me. I bought my first Gillette when in college
sometime between 1900 and 1904. I still have it. I have used no
other kind except trying an electric affair the folks gave me one
time for Christmas, but I couldn't get the hang of it somehow.
One of the children commandeered it long ago. So, in truth and in
fact I am a 40-odd-year customer of yours. . . .
Yours, for sharper carving knives,
NEVER ON A SUNDAY
July 27, 1947
My dear Ann Drew:
The new Buick came a week ago last Thursday. It is some sort of
supersonic model and the hind end sticks out of Ben Curtis'
garage. . . Right off the bat Aunt Margaret wanted to drive the
following Saturday to North Manchester to "see Ida." She
telephoned Ida, who got us reservations at the local hotel for
Saturday night, and up we went. . . to see Ida at the Peabody
Home--an elegant place for a place of that character. Ida now is
one of the oldest inhabitants and has a front room. . .After
supper we drove all over town and a short way into the country
and Ida liked that very, very much. Then back to the home where
the evening's conversation ran to bad eyesight, constipation and
poor circulation, and Ida was worried about contracting some drug
habit.
