This letter came with a box of other letters related to the Drexlers and The Drexler Coal Company.   As you can see it does not have a date on it.

The envelope is Drexler Coal:

The letter head is YMCA of World’s Fair New York:

So Ben went to two top of the line clinics and five separate doctors to diagnose a case of ringworm.  Ringoworm must have been a big deal or somewhat unheard of in the 1930’s because it is very common nowadays.

Also amazing is that Ben met a girl named “Blue Green”.

The book he discusses is possibly “Earth, My Friend” By Peter Townsend.  If this is in fact the book he is referring to, then the letter had to have been written after or during 1959 and not in the 30’s like the rest of the letters that I got with this one.
