Just a note to let you know that your gift parcel arrived safely today and the contents have been shared out between the staff. Mr. Marks and Mr. Cohen insisted that we divide it up among ourselves and Don't include "the bosses." I should just like to add that everything in the parcel was something that we either never see or can only be had through the black market. It was extremely kind and generous of you to think of us in this way and we are all extremely grateful.

Dear Miss Hanff,

We all wish to express our thanks and send our greetings and best wishes for 1950.

Frank Doel

Yours faithfully,

For MARKS & CO.
