Q: Dear Mrs. Covert, I want to write my girlfriend a letter and send it through the mail, but I don’t want her parents to read it. What can I do? Wants Privacy |
A: Dear Wants Privacy, You can use a mask like General Clinton did during the Revolutionary War. Okay, he was British, and his side lost. His code technique was a success. You’ll need to write your real letter inside the mask and then add other words around the mask to make it look like a real letter. Be sure your girlfriend has an exact copy of the mask you use to write her your letter. To see how a mask works, visit this website: Sneakily, Mrs. Covert |
