Route Five

Hubbock, Texas

June 30, 1947

Dear Jack.

            You were right. Your letter left me very puzzled and surprised. Who is my very good friend? Are you in China? How old are you? Who are you? What do you look like? Where is your home town?

            I’ll write to you only if you answer all my questions. Especially about my very good friend. I may not write to you then.

            I’m not pretty above all things. In fact I’m very homely. If you answer write to the following address since I am taking my vacation in Texas.

            Miss Gwen Baxter

Only your friend.
