Dear Mary:
Do you know some people don't like company? I do.
The real reason they don't is they are not fixed for it, I
think it is a shame that women who enjoy having their
friends come to see them can't ask them just because,their

cause they haven't got the furniture and rugs they need.
That's what I'd do if Frank were not so good to me always.
