My dearest Lil,

I am enclosing a letter addressed to Miss Baby McQuade to be forwarded on only in the event of my death. Be sure I am dead old girl before you send it along. As you know I acted as her agent in many matters and this letter refers to many things which would only be necessary in case of my decease. Nothing like being prepared for emergencies although I have no fear of going under. My lucky number (13) still sticks to me and I can never go wrong when I bear that number. When sending copies of letters along please enclose a copy of this joke as I think it very funny. Fond love to all.

Your loving brother Douglas.
