From Mom's scrapbook...
The envelope is postmarked December 23, 1943. Stamps totaled 3 cents. A stamp reading "Buy War Savings Bonds and Stamps" is over the stamps. The return address is Keller-Zandler, Inc., 814 Canal St., New Orleans, LA.
The letter reads:
Dear Miss Arceneaux:
We read with great interest the announcement of your wedding plans, and we would like to be among the first to wish you happiness.
At the same time, may we suggest that you drop in to see us while you are trousseau shopping? You will find here the smartest clothes in the South, the most wickedly feminine lingerie and negligees, and the most becoming hats as well as the most distractingly lovely bridal veils. And our Footwear Shop has shoes for every costume for any honeymoon.
Do come in and see these lovely things. It will be a pleasure to serve you.
Sincerely yours,
Retta (I can't make out the last name - maybe Grace?)
Wouldn't it be lovely to have personal service like this now?
***
Not much but gardening going on here these days.
Oh. And getting ready for our cruise.
Shalom.
