WESTERN UNION TELEGRAM

RECEIVED AT Philopolis, N.Y.

Miss Mable Gimp 106 Main Street Philopolis, N.Y.

Dere Mable: How was I to know Broggins was a dog. You can send back all your stuff and make me some more if you want to. This telegram is costing me nine cents a word so I cant say no more now. Thrifty. Thats me all over, Mable.
