July 21, 1951Bayonne, New JerseyDear Grandpa, Just a note to let you know tha I'm fine. But this is avery strange place. You think we got big shell inthe Bayou? They ain't nothin'. Up here they got somereal monsters. The fellas brought me a crawfish big asol' red askin' me to cook it up, but I told them we ain'teatin' no shellfish smell bad as that. The guys tell me they seen even bigger ones--but I thinkthey're pullin' my chain. Can't be none bigger thanwhat I saw. You take care and give ol' Red a pat on the head forme.
