Bitches will sell you out:
A letter to the Seattle Bureau of Prohibition, Sept. 12, 1931:

Dear Sir:
My husband is in the habit of buying a quart of wiskey every other  day from a Chinese bootlegger named Chin Waugh living at 317-16th near  Alder street.
We need this money for household expenses. Will you please have his  place raided? He keeps a supply planted in the garden and a smaller  quantity under the back steps for quick delivery. If you make the raid  at 9:30 any morning you will be sure to get the goods and Chin also as  he leaves the house at 10 o’clock and may clean up before he goes.
Thanking you in advance, I remain yours truly,
Mrs. Hillyer
