About Stamp Dealers

The little old lady called the expressman to pick upthe rather large and nondescript package. This done shesat at her writing desk and addressed a letter."Dear Mr. Thorp:

I will not be buying any stamps for a while as my sonand daughter-in-law have moved from this city for theWest. They have asked me to live with them in their newhome and have sent me plane tickets. I have arrangedhere to take care of all of my furniture and things but Idid not wish to trust my stamp collection with the otherthings and it was too large a package to carry with me onthe plane: so I am sending all of my stamps — everything— to you. Please keep these for me until I write you frommy new home which I shall do if all goes well. However,I am not too sure that all will go well with me as my heartis not what it used to be and I fear the altitude may not begood for me. Only yesterday, while I was packing my thingsI blanked out and came to lying on the floor. My doctorhas advised me to be very careful but I did not tell him ofthe plane trip as I was afraid he would not let me go.Neither my son nor daughter-in-law knows of my condition
