Also got another parcel a few days ago - posted on 21/5/17 with letter No 42 & the snaps. I think the snaps are bosker but are saturated with grease also the letter through being near the cake. They are not spoilt only it makes them transparent & you can see the lines on the other side of the paper. The honey went bosker & many of the boys had a bit. I also got a parcel from Mrs Tresidder. The one you posted on the 1st March must have gone down as I didn't get it nor have I received the one posted on 10/5/17.

I am waiting anxious to hear if Jean got her's because if not I have my eye on a couple of beauties in a town near bye. Hope you get a table centre I posted you it was a beauty. The handkerchiefs I think have gone down with Jean's scarf. I haven't yet received Myra's
