Black Dahlia Hints
How do I assemble the telegram?
1 of 8: It might help to know that the screen scrolls left and right.
2 of 8: When putting the pieces together, they do overlap somewhat.
3 of 8: The heading is at the top with a globe at either side.
4 of 8: There are enough pieces to form two separate telegrams.
5 of 8: One telegram is dated December 5, 1946, from someone named Dick. This is the important one.
6 of 8: The other telegram is dated December 25, 1946, and starts out "Al, Merry Christmas, You Pig."
7 of 8: The pieces do not need to line up perfectly. Just make sure you can read both of them, then exit your inventory.
