American Red Cross
“I love bailies. It you have any
motherless babies I would be pleased
to have you send me one I would
want a girl as young as it can be and
pretty My mother says I can have
one She and I would take care of it.
I would take care of it most of the
time when I am home. 1 think babies
are cunning and I am crazy over them.
I think they arc the runniest things

to take care of it right. I would be
