   Edga Case Va. Beach, Va.
   Dear Sir:
   I've been wanting to write to you for ten months, but could not do it. I had to get some one else to do the writing this time.
   About ten months ago I was taken with my feet and legs so that I couldn't walk and I'm still in bed.
   I've been under the treatment of two medical doctors and one chiropractor.
   Please give me a reading at your earliest convenience.
   Enclosed please find $10.00.
   Yours truly, [4754]

   Yours truly, [...]
