News You Can Bruise for 2006 May 16

Back in Bakersfield from Utah burial. Scanning and packing stuff night and day. Am currently working on a binder of Whitney letters from the 1940s and 1950s. They had a really wide variety of paper quality back then.

Continuing the tradition unwittingly started by my postcard panic entry, I give you an e.e. cummings-esque letter sent by my mother to her aunt LeJeune:
