[Ponte Alto] Pennsic Gift Baskets

[agnes daunce]

Greetings your Excellency!
I won't be able to attend the newcommer's meeting, I'm not artsy
but I can certainly contribute supplies.  I will pick up the
boxes-how many are needed?.  I can also contirbute glass beads. 
I'll also check on the white lace dollies-how many do you need?

Your Faithful Servent,

Agnes Daunce
