Dear Miss Dean:-----------------------
  I am asking your help
with a prayer for peace we
are making a movement for
the war.  That is now to
say Hail Mary or Our Father
once a day for nine days
I am passing this one to you.
Hoping this will not brake
it. This is going around
the world for the fourth
time. The fourth day after
you receive this a favor
will be granted to you.
Make four copies and
mail to your people or friends
before the fourth day is up
