I found this at an estate sale this weekend. It is a handwritten letter that was inside an envelope pasted in a scrap book. It contained a tiny square of woven black wool and two pressed flowers.



England

March 1932

Dear Mr. Raines,

My name is Marion Briarley. I work for Samuel Martin, ltd, here in Leeds, and I am sending you a sample of the suiting which is made in the Grampian Hills of Scotland. It is hardy, tough, and will give you long honest wear - try and tear this sample.

I hope you will buy your next suit and topcoat at our Seattle store, 4th at Union, Douglas Building, Mezzanine Floor.

I thank you Sir

Marion Briarley

PS I am sending you a little primrose, England's first Spring flower.

Everything about this is right. How could Mr. Raines resist?
