Barbados – (undecipherable) 1930?
Dear Stevie , I am plenty by little boys (but black ones) eating sugar cane like you as candy and chewing gum. These little chaps never have to bother with leggings or galoshes or heavy coats. The same (undecipherable) suit does for all year round and for every day till it falls apart. Love Winea??
