Chapter XXXIX
THE ROSIE MORROW For a whole week Rosie worked away at her letter. She followed Danny's advice and added new pages each day. As a result her manuscript grew in bulk with startling rapidity. She had to buy a big envelope for it and then spend a large part of a week's wages on postage stamps. Here is what she wrote: DEAR GEORGE, How are you and how is your mother and how is your father?
