It started just after Labor Day, with an envelope postmarked September 13, 1935, sent special delivery, addressed to Miss Mae West of 570 N. Rossmore, Ravenswood Apartments, Hollywood, California. There was nothing unusual about the envelope, but its contents were a different matter.

This wasn’t about keeping secrets or giving favors; it was about taking money from Mae West. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
