Giant Crustacean Attack


August 18, 1972

Dear Coleman,

I would like to return this lantern for a full refund.  I have enclosed the original receipt.   Although the lantern functioned as advertised, there were unfortunate consequences and events resulting from the shadows cast.

My Aunt Clara became startled at seeing what she took to be a giant one-clawed lobster on the side of her tent.  She ran screaming into the woods and has required psychiatric treatment ever since.  (There was no lobster)

I hope you understand why I can not continue using this lantern.  As you can see, I have returned it in the original packaging and shipped it via UPS.

Thank you for your understanding
