Dear Rev. C: VIVA! We of NN (all 8 of us) feel you should know that we're opening a wide and fanatical drive to save millions from the degenerative effects of tobacco. We know you personally are free of this insidious habit - but you might save some of your kith and kin. 35 sheets of this paper = $1.00. At a St. Patrick's Day come all ye I met a Mrs. Siegel (very nice person) - who is the former Betty Jaffe - a WPA writer from the old era. When we found out we had the friendship of Reverend C in common we had a fine visit about you. She was touched to know of your austerity program and how you, I and the Rev. B are always thought of in Oakland-Kenwood circles as "The Apostles of Temperance"! Let us have the usual quiet time over the absent Rev. B. - who maintains a sinister & stoney [sic] silence in snow-swept California! Yours for saving the WEST from the Redman's Revenge (the Weed) - and the Irish Curse (the Bottle) - evangelistic'ly Rev. D.
