Dear Marty,
This is just a request- for mailing purposes. When you get around to it and the postal regulations allow it. I would appreciate your sending the following:
1. The pillow
2. Some Bin 56 tobacco (Middleton’s). I suggest that you leave out the jars to save weight and breakage. It’s strong and expensive, but mixed with cheaper brands sold in the PX’s here. I think it might make a pretty good mixture. Just pack it in a bag or something- I don’t think it will dry out much at sea or in England.
That’s all at present and there isn’t any hurry about it. I have a sort of pillow as long as we are at the post and the PX allows us as much tobacco (incl. cigars) as most people ought to smoke. I just don’t like the brands of pipe tobacco + I have a couple of months supply that I brought with me.


Love B
