Only two letters had been written with that particular piece of carbon—one evidently a business letter, the other, farther down the shect and blocked in the center of the sheet,’ a letter which contained the words “Chris Wiley” and “Cherry.” The words, inverted as they were, were stili plainly readable on the glossy purple surface of the carbon paper.
