A.P.O 740Just a hurried note to thank you for the "Retort Prophylactic" that appeared in the July issue by Scribners. I have been driven to more than one rest cure by sympathetic, broadminded acquaintances. Your deduction lead me to believe you are a diagnostician. I shall skip the prescription and utilize as an antidote to the germicide you describe.
It is a grateful patient that sends you this testimonial. I hope it doesn't make you feel like a patent medicine vendor!
As the gunner would say, I have been firing for adjustment several months now. Your data makes it easy to adjust the piece.
Yours
Lucy Lester.
