The combined and letter said they understood she was coming to St. Petersburg in the very near future. Enclosed was a Courtesy card entitling a free piece of pie at aunt Hattie s. St. Petersburg does t fit into my budget at the present so As a joke i decided .

Ambassador to Britain s Crown and Type of All but the punch line is that when the body of this Buff was recovered by his companions it was Clad in Fud uniform.
