    Transcript of message written by
    Alice Dunbar Nelson
    :
    You notice how [illegible name] & Tie are guarding Buddie & [illegible name] (over).
    [illegible] treat us this way.
    We tried to guard the fudge but [illegible]!
    [illegible] appeared and we all join in talking you.
    Our "guy" had the nerve to say that it tasted like [illegible].
    [illegible] about the gesture?
    Write soon
    Sincerely,
    Alice
