One greeting card sent by Joan Pietry to Robert E. Dyer dated May 19, 1944. Features a girl cat on the ground refusing help from a medic cat. The front cover reads "A Letter Needed - That's all! I don't need any FIRST AID kit To make me feel much better." the inside features the girl cat reading a letter looking visibly better and it reads, "Say! All I need- (now take the hint!) IS A GOOD, LONG NEWSY LETTER." Joan has written that she has been so busy but she will write him soon.
