This item isn’t a letter; it’s a list of presents to send us (mostly for me for my birthday), in Helen’s handwriting, stapled to the back of a UPS receipt.

Jed’s b-day pkg

Leathercraft (77¢) .80
Pop stick craft (77¢) .80
“Baseball” napkins (?) .25
Inflatable table decoration (?) .25
B-day card with game (?) .10
2 white shirts 0 0
1 brown turtleneck 0 0
——
220
Everyone: “Tiddledy Winks .30
Joaquin: Inflatable chair $100
Youth silver set
——
350

Packed in Anne L’s black suitcase

I’m not sure how to interpret the two prices for each item. I thought maybe the second price was the cost of shipping or something, but the UPS receipt shows the total shipping cost for the package as being $1.65.
