Two weeks ago, Sylvie requested five or six tote bags. I bought her several and asked the Army of Good to offer some. Sylvie got plenty of tote bags. She is a little mysterious about exactly what she will do with them, I think she will use them for her correspondence – she loves to get and mail letters – and also for her religious literature.

She is a devote member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Sylvie is one of my favorite people in the world, she is a fierce individual and she told me today that she got some criticism for stacking some of her new tote bags on her walker.

“Some people have suggested that I am a bag lady,” she huffed. “I think they are just kidding, Sylvie,” I said, “perhaps they are suggesting you are a tote lady.”

“Thank you, John,” she said, “I will have to think and pray on that.” If you wish to write Sylvie, it will please her greatly. I gave her several boxes of new notecards and some envelopes and stamps this week.

You can write her care of Sylvie, The Mansion, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816. She will do her best to respond, although some of her letters get returned to the Mansion, she then considers them prayers.
