To Mrs E. Stuck Dear Dorothy Enclosed is your list. You won’t get your medical order until Jan next. That’s time enough but you can take the other form to P.O. & get an extra book. About 6 weeks before due date, each day bathe breasts with hot water, then cold & rub nipples with meth spirit & massage a little …… into them. I’ll be seeing you beforehand. Mrs Powell went into the nursing home (Perkins) this afternoon. Membranes ruptured but I don’t suppose there will be any news until tomorrow. Cheerio. Kind regards
