A.W. (Peter) Machen to Rose P. Machen

September ??, 1969

Viet Nam

Dear Mom:

Could you please send me some more of that lemonade mix.  Here's a list:

Lemonade mix

Town house cookies

Chewing gum

Cigarettes (Marlboro)

Nestlé's chocolate bars

Peanuts

6-12 insect repellent

A ticket home

A miniature of bourbon

Those lemon lifesavers

If possible, one half a pint would be sufficient.  Bourbon is only a dream out here and if you could, well it would sure be appreciated.  I know it's not legal through the mail but it's done all the time.  It's best to put it in a package containing other items and well cushioned from breaking in the middle of the box.

Thanks a lot, Mom,

Cabin Still

Love,

Pete
