Mrs. M.C. MacLeod
Medford, Mass
Dear Mrs. MacLeod,
Please come and pick up your daughter, Roberta.
She is being held in the Home for Wayward Girls
until you get here.
She was caught slipping a Nobska Light ashtray
into her satchel at Seaside Souvenirs.
The matron also found a pack of smokes
and some salt water taffy wrappers when she frisked her.
She said you sent her down to visit with your sister
even though she told you this place was just awful.
Your sister won’t take her back.
Says she’s “a bad influence” on her cousins.
If you want to phone ahead, our number is FA 5-0880.
Ask for Sgt. Ahern.
