Scratches Hints

What do I need to do to mail the note?

  • 1 of 5: The same thing you would need to do to mail any letter.
  • 2 of 5: Place it inside an envelope...
  • 3 of 5: ...and write the address on the outside.  Be sure that you have spoken with Barbara about the note, or you won't know how to address the envelope.
  • 4 of 5: You'll need a pen to write the address on the envelope.
  • 5 of 5: Now the only thing left to do would be to mail it.  (No, you won't need a stamp -- I guess Michael intends to send it postage-due.)
