Re: HIST: foster homes needed
From: someone <jalexand@slip.net>

waddie@slip.net. I didn't want to lose contact before we really got started.
Please let me know when you put them in the mail, so I can be on the lookout for
them.

P.S.
I'm looking for an antique iris that I can't seem to find called Whisperwood --
don't suppose you have any idea where I might find this one.
