Dear Pennie,

     Hope this bloke is one you like on T.V.  I don't remember the T.V. Do being as good looking as this real one.

Dear Timmy,

     Haven't seen any oil wells yet, guess I'll see plenty when I get to Los Angeles, if I ever do.  I go through Cheyenne tomorrow, but am not stopping there this time.

     Love Nan

Dear Merry,

     I think Wyatt Ear is a thoroughly nasty looking customer.  My overnight bag didn't get on the bus today, so I have no rain coat and it's raining cats and dogs.

     Love Nan

Dear Fish,

     These sheep don't look as good as the Wollogorang ones do they?  They don't seem to have much to eat either, poor things.

     Love Nan
